Asante Kotoko have confirmed their departure from Ghana for Algeria ahead of their first leg encounter of the 2013 CAF Champions League round of 16 duel with Jeunesse Sportive Madinet de Béjaïa on Friday.

The Ghanaian champions will leave the Kotoka Airport for Algiers via Cairo on Monday afternoon with 18 players, 6 technical team members among others for their entourage.

Kotoko’s Monday departure has led to the cancellation of their MTN FA Cup round of 32 clash with Agbozome Warriors in Ho. The fixture will now be played at a later date.

The kick-off time for Friday’s game has been confirmed for 19 hours local time (18:00 GMT) at the astro turfed Stade de l'Unité Maghrébine located in Béjaïa which holds not more than 25,000 spectators.
