Enyimba begin preparations for crucial Al Masry clash in Egypt

Enyimba FC held their first training session under the floodlights of Ismailia on Monday night as they gear up for their CAF Confederation Cup Group D encounter against Egyptian side Al Masry.

The session, led by head coach Yemi Olanrewaju, marked the start of the former Nigeria Premier Football League champions’ on-ground preparations after arriving in Cairo on Sunday evening.

The team is set to intensify its buildup with another session on Tuesday.

The much-anticipated clash will take place at the Suez Canal Stadium in Ismailia on Wednesday, kicking off at 6 pm local time.

Group D also features Egyptian heavyweights Zamalek and Mozambican side Black Bull, making this a fiercely competitive pool.

Enyimba will aim to secure an early advantage in the group stages as they seek continental success.
