Ghana midfielder Kwasi Sibo is in line to make his CAF Champions League debut after Al-Swehly SC secured a place in the second preliminary round with a convincing aggregate victory over KVZ FC. The Libyan champions advanced 4-0 on aggregate after following up a 1-0 first-leg win with a 3-0 victory away to the Zanzibar side on Sunday. After a goalless opening half, John Oto John broke the deadlock before goals from Mohammed Sola and Zad Al-Kheer Boukhawa sealed a comfortable win for Al-Swehly. The result sets up a high-profile tie against Tunisian giants Espérance Sportive de Tunis, with Sibo expected to play a key role as the Libyan side bid to reach the group stage of Africa's premier club competition. Sibo joined Al-Swehly during the summer transfer window and could now make his first appearance in the CAF Champions League when the two sides meet next month. The second preliminary round will be played over two legs, with the first matches scheduled for 16-18 October and the return fixtures taking place from 23-25 October. Meanwhile, the 27-year-old is also expected to be included in Ghana's squad for this month's 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Côte d'Ivoire and The Gambia.
