Kenya&#8217;s respresentatives, Gor Mahia have been drawn against Anse Reunion of Seychelles in the preliminary round. The first leg will be played on 15\u201317 February 2013<\/p>\n<p>Gor Mahia will be looking to atone for the disastous campaign of 2012 that saw them eliminated by Ferroviario of Mozambique in unceremonious fashion.<\/p>\n<p>Should Gor Mahia beat Anse ReUnion, they will play Ennpi of Egypt in the 1st round. Egyptian teams have typically proven to be a tough nut to crack for East African teams. However Sofapaka proved 2 years ago that it can be done when they eliminated Ismailia of Egypt.<\/p>\n<p>On paper Anse Reunion appears not to be a difficult team. In the past they have signed Kenya national team\u00a0players such as James Omondi and Zablon Amakanaka as well as other internationals. So they will be no pushovers. The last time Anse ReUnion participated in a continental tournament was in 2008 when they reached the 1st round.<\/p>\n<p>Last time Gor Mahia played Ferrioviario, the team was in turmoil due to infighting amongst technical bench members. The players were unfit due to lack of conditioning. There was no competent coach nor a coach who could command the respect of the players, the EC nor the technical bench. The players were fatigued and injury prone after the end year tour.\u00a0Fans will\u00a0hope that these issues will have been ironed out this time. A modicum of stability is required in order to prepare for continental assignments.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/news\/gor-mahia-to-play-seychellois-club-in-caf-cup\/\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground:  !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The draw for the 2013 CAF Confederations cup has been made.
