Algerian heavyweights JS Kabylie have arrived in Ghana ahead of their CAF Champions League preliminary-round first-leg tie against Ghana Premier League champions Bibiani Goldstars SC.

The encounter is set for Saturday, September 20, at the Accra Sports Stadium and marks a historic moment for Goldstars, who are making their maiden appearance in a CAF inter-club competition.

Their visitors, however, bring a rich pedigree to the fixture. JS Kabylie, runners-up in the Algerian Ligue 1 last season, boast two CAF Champions League titles, won in 1981 and 1990.

Goldstars will lean on the experience of key players such as defender Vincent Atinga as they aim to make a statement in their continental debut.

The return leg is slated for Friday, September 26, in Algeria, where the aggregate winner will advance to the next round.
