Enyimba To Play CAF Home Matches In Port Harcourt by robosky02(m): 2:52pm On Feb 05, 2016 |
The spokesman of the Enyimba football club of Aba, Farriel Allaputa, has disclosed that the defending champions of the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) will play their continental home games at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium in Port Harcourt. the slow pace of work at the ongoing rehabilitation of the Enyimba International Stadium has forced the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to advise the team to look for an alternative venue. It is however unlikely for the stadium to be ready for their opening match of the CAF champions league by February 28. “The ongoing rehabilitation work at the Enyimba Stadium is not moving at a very quick pace,” Farriel Allaputa, spokesman of Enyimba, told supersport.com. “It is looking very unlikely that we will play the return fixture (against Vipers) at our own stadium so we have opted for the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium in Port Harcourt to play that game. “We have already received clearance from the Confederation of African Football (CAF) and the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to that effect.” Enyimba begin their quest for this season’s CAF champions league against Ugandan club Vipers SC in the preliminary round. The first leg will be played on the weekend of February 12-14 at the Bunamwaya Stadium, Uganda. It would be recalled that representatives of CAF were in Nigeria to inspect designated stadia Nigerian premier league clubs will use in continental football next season. The stadia inspected were those to be used by the quartet of Enyimba FC , Warri Wolves, Nasarawa United and Akwa United for the 2016 CAF Champions League and Confederation Cups. cc:lalasticlala https://www.naij.com/720445-enyimba-will-move-port-harcourt.html
