The draw for the prelims was held on July 11, with Samartex placed in Pot 3, ahead of the draw. This will be the club’s first foray into the continental club competition, and they will be looking to make a positive impact as they face the Cameroonian side.

The games for the first preliminary round are slated for August 16-25, while the dates for the second round are scheduled for September 13-22.
