CAF rejects Rivers United’s Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium for CAFCC tie
The first leg of the CAF Confederation Cup second round between Nigeria’s Rivers United and Al Masry of Egypt will be played at Enyimba’s stadium in Aba.
The venue was confirmed this Monday morning after The Confederation of African Football failed to approve the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium in Port Harcourt.
The African Football Governing Body stated that the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium is not in the right condition to host continental matches at the moment, despite hosting the match between Rivers United and Young Africans of Tanzania September 19th.
