Stars were drawn against Uniao do Songo from Mozambique in their preparatory round when the Confederation of African Football made the draw for the opening rounds of the 2017 version in the Egyptian capital of Cairo on Wednesday.
Dikwena booked their ticket to the mainlands' second-level rivalry by completing third in the Absa Premiership last season – behind champions Mamelodi Sundowns and runners-up Bidvest Wits.
"That is an intriguing time for us (the Confederation Cup) since I think a considerable measure of the more youthful and periphery players will pick up a ton of experience playing mainland football‚" said Johnson after his group earned a valid 2-2 draw away at Highlands Park on Tuesday.
Johnson said his group will bring the opposition with the earnestness it merits. He was the head mentor in 2008 when Stars turned into the primary South African side to beat the strong Egyptian club Al Ahly on South African soil.
Stars won a first-leg conflict 2–1 at Super Stadium (now called Lucas Moripe Stadium)‚ at the third round of the African Champions League eight years back.
The result‚ however‚ just gave some brief success‚ as Stars lost the second leg 0–2‚ and were thumped out of the competition 2-3 on total.
"I've been there before with Mamelodi Sundowns (as aide coach)‚ with Platinum Stars. It's dependably has been a troublesome ride particularly when you play the North African groups.
"They've been playing in these competitions for 30 or 40 years they know how to win it they know how to go to the following stride.
"It's constantly troublesome. You generally must be clinical‚ you must be a tiny bit all the more strategically astute‚ be better arranged particularly rationally.
SuperSport United‚ who met all requirements for the opposition as last season's Nedbank Cup winners‚ were drawn against Madagascan club Elgeco Plus.
In the mainland's chief competition‚ the African Champions League‚ ruling champions Mamelodi Sundowns will begin the guard of their title with a first-round meeting against either KCCA from Uganda or Primeiro de Agosto from Angola.
Last season's alliance runners-up BidVest Wits open their Champions League crusade away at Reunion side AS Saint Louisianne‚ however will have the second leg at home.
