GU will not participate in the CAF Confederations Cup PIC: KABO MPAETONA

Gaborone United (GU) has followed in the footsteps of Mochudi Centre Chiefs by withdrawing from this year’s CAF competition. GU were scheduled to play Tanzania’s Jeshi La Kujenga Uchumi in the opening stages of the CAF Confederations Cup after winning the Mascom Top 8 title last season.
