Nigerian Federation Cup champions, El-Kanemi Warriors, have embarked on a quest to find a new home ground for their CAF Confederation Cup campaign. The Borno-based club’s original stadium failed to meet CAF’s approval, prompting the search for an alternative venue.
The club’s management has shortlisted three stadiums across the country for consideration: Sani Abacha Stadium, MKO Abiola Stadium in Abuja, and Mobolaji Johnson Arena in Lagos. The search for a new home ground comes ahead of their CAF Confederation Cup debut against Dadje FC of Benin in the first preliminary round.
With both legs of the first preliminary round scheduled for August, El-Kanemi Warriors are racing against time to secure a suitable venue. The club is determined to find a stadium that meets CAF’s standards and can accommodate their passionate fans.
The search for a new home ground is a significant challenge for El-Kanemi Warriors, but the club remains optimistic about their chances in the Confederation Cup. With their impressive performance in the Nigerian Federation Cup, the Warriors are poised to make a statement in the continental competition.
As the club navigates this new challenge, their fans remain steadfast in their support. The Warriors will need all the backing they can get as they embark on this exciting journey in the CAF Confederation Cup.
