The return leg of the CAF Champions League preliminary round game between Gaadiidka FC and APR will be played at the Kigali Pele Stadium on Thursday, August 24.

Times Sport understands that the Somalians are adopting the Kigali-based stadium as their home ground for the second leg encounter due to financial constraints.

Gaadiidka FC normally play their home games at the 10,000-capacity Banadir Stadium in Mogadishu but they will play the return leg against APR in Kigali to save cost which includes travel expenses.
