Historic Nyayo National Stadium in Nairobi will on Saturday host the highly anticipated CAF Confederation Cup match between Kenya Police FC and Egyptian giants Zamalek SC.

The rivals will battle in the first round of the continental showpiece which three times champions Zamalek are out to defend with zest.

Zamalek jetted into the country on Thursday morning and had a feel of the match venue last evening.

Despite the rich Zamalek history in the competition, Police who are making their debut in the competition, have declared that they don't respect any records, and they will be out to dismantle them.
