MC Alger get ready to welcome CS Sfaxien for something different than the ordinary league football: The CAF Champions League 1st Round leg 1 of 2.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!

It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for CS Sfaxien, who are travelling more than 800 kilometers to play this game.
