FRANCISTOWN: Orapa United and Jwaneng Galaxy will this weekend, launch their attempts to progress beyond the preliminary round of CAF competitions for the first time.

United and Galaxy have participated in the Confederations Cup and CAF Champions League, thrice and twice respectively, but no side has progressed beyond the preliminary round. In the Champions League, Galaxy face a lowly ranked side, DFC Beme Arrondissement of the Central African Republic (CAR).

The most notable advantage for the Jwaneng-based outfit is that they have had fairly good preparations for the competition. They recently returned from South Africa where they played several friendlies including against Kaizer Chiefs during the international break. The biggest blow for Galaxy is that three foreign players who were recently signed by the club will not be available because they are waiting for their work permits.
