April 08, (THEWILL) – Rivers United Technical Adviser, Stanley Eguma, has expressed confidence that his team is ready to win the CAF Confederation Cup and retain the Nigeria Premier Football League title.
Speaking upon his team’s return to the country after losing their last CAF Confederation group match to ASEC Mimosa, Eguma emphasised the team’s focus on performing well and making Nigerians proud.
“We knew Nigerians have an interest in CAF competitions and we don’t have to let them down. That is why we have given the utmost attention to make sure we perform well,” he said. “All the competitions we entered have their categories and I think CAF Confederation Cup is higher than any of them, but we are not losing focus because it was through the league we got this ticket to go to the continent.”
Rivers United has qualified for the quarterfinals of the CAF Club competition, and the draw to determine their knockout stage opponent will take place on Wednesday. The Port Harcourt-based team has the opportunity to make history if they can become the first Nigerian club to win the CAF Confederation Cup.
