ACCRA, Dec. 28 (Xinhua) -- Ghana's Asante Kotoko have been drawn against Coton Sport FC of Cameroon in the playoff round of the 2018/2019 Confederation Cup scheduled for next month.

The draw was held in the Egyptian capital of Cairo on Friday.

The winner of the two-legged encounter will progress to the group stage of the CAF's second-tier continental club competition.

Asante Kotoko, which defeated Kenya's Kariobangi Sharks 2-1 on aggregate to make it to the last round of qualifiers, were runner-up in the inaugural Confederation Cup in 2004/2005, losing in the grand finale to archrival Accra Hearts of Oak.

The Porcupine Warriors last participated in the Confederation Cup in 2008, finishing bottom in Group B.
