The Garoua-based club are bidding to win their first ever continental title. But in doing so, they will have to overcome a powerful and experienced club in Ahli.

Ahli, who host Coton Sport in the first-leg of the competition’s final on Sunday, eye a record-breaking sixth Champions League triumph.

Milla, who was named the best African player in history in 2006, sees no reason why Coton Sport can’t win the prestigious title.

“All of Cameroonians will support Coton Sport to return home with a satisfying result,” Milla told the club’s official website.

“Coton deserve to win this trophy. I will be supporting them till the end.”

As a sign of support for the nine-time Cameroonian league champions, Milla has led their delegation to Cairo.

Earlier this week, Coton won the Cameroonian Cup title after beating Aigle de Dschang 4-2.
