Enyimba, Rivers United Coaches Preview Federation Cup Clash
A special football match awaits as two of the grand establishments in
Nigerian football get to meet in a wonderful place-the Lekan Salami
Stadium, Ibadan-to decide which side progresses to the semi-final of
Nigeria’s oldest football competition, the Federation Cup.<br /><br />Enyimba’s head coach, Paul Aigbogun expects a tough examination for his side in Ibadan.<br /><br />“The
game against Rivers United is going to be tough but then It’s never
easy when you get to the quarter finals (of the competition),” he told
Rivers United FC.<br /><br />The Rivers United technical manager, Stanley Eguma also addressed the media ahead of the big game.<br /><br />“It
is always a big game when you play Enyimba. They are the only Nigerian
club still left on the continent and we have a lot of respect for them. <br /><br />“However we are an ambitious club and we want to announce our arrival to the Nigerian football scene.<br /><br />“We want to compensate our Governor and the people of Rivers State who have been solidly behind us all season,” Eguma said.<br /><br />There
can only be one winner on Sunday and the side that shows the greater
desire will take the garlands at the end of the day in Ibadan.<br /><br />Igho Kingsley
