Following their hard-fought win against Kaizer Chiefs in the Nedbank Cup in May, National First Division side TS Galaxy is gearing up for participation in the CAF Confederation Cup, which is scheduled to get underway this weekend.
Galaxy's cup triumph qualified the club for the Confederation Cup for the first time ever in their history, while Chiefs will miss out on the continental competition this season, after taking part during last season's edition.
The Mpumalanga-based outfit will host St. Louis of Seychelles at the Mbombela Stadium for the first leg of their preliminary round matches of this season's Confederation Cup on August 11.
