Gor, who won their record 17th SportPesa Premier League (SPL) title, will represent the country in the first tier championship as Sharks make their debut in the second tier club competition after winning the SportPesa Shield with a 3-2 win over Sofapaka on October 20.

The upcoming season will start in the first weekend of December and end in May 2019, just before the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) tournament.
Caf had said the deadline for team to submit their squads was on Thursday.
