Rayon Sports have been drawn against Cameroon’s Panthère Sportive du Ndé in the first preliminary round of the 2026/27 CAF Confederation Cup.

The draw was conducted at CAF headquarters in Cairo, Egypt, where clubs discovered their path to the group stage of Africa’s second-tier interclub competition.

The first-leg match is scheduled to be played between September 4 and 6, 2026, while the return leg will take place between September 11 and 13, 2026, according to CAF’s official calendar.

This is not the first time Rayon Sports have faced Panthère Sportive du Ndé, as the two sides met in the preliminary round of the 2015 CAF Confederation Cup. The Rwandan club won the tie before being eliminated by Zamalek SC in the next round.

If Rayon Sports overcome Panthère Sportive du Ndé, they will face either Atomic Ngome or Black Bulls FC in the second preliminary round of the CAF Confederation Cup.
