Enyimba seek redemption against Black Bulls in crucial CAF Confederation Cup clash

20250104 173113

Enyimba FC will face Mozambique’s Black Bulls on Sunday, January 5, 2025, in a must-win CAF Confederation Cup Group D match at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo.

The Nigerian side, two-time CAF Champions League winners, are under immense pressure to secure a victory as they fight to keep their knockout stage hopes alive.

Currently at the bottom of Group D, Enyimba must win all three of their remaining group-stage games to have any chance of advancing.

Their campaign took a major hit two weeks ago with a shocking 3-0 loss to the Black Bulls in Maputo, a result that led to the dismissal of head coach Yemi Olanrewaju.

As the team prepares for Sunday’s high-stakes encounter, Enyimba’s management has addressed rumours surrounding their travel difficulties after the first-leg defeat.

Team manager Prince Okey Nwabeke dismissed the claims that the club was stranded in Mozambique, calling the allegations unfounded.

“These rumours are baseless and an attempt to tarnish the image of the administration led by Nwankwo Kanu,” Nwabeke stated firmly.

The Uyo showdown offers Enyimba a chance at redemption. With their backs against the wall, the players will need to rise to the occasion to regain the confidence of their fans and reignite their campaign in the 2024–2025 CAF interclub competition.

The Black Bulls, buoyed by their dominant first-leg performance, will be looking to capitalize on Enyimba’s struggles and secure another win.

The match promises to be a tightly contested affair, with both sides aware of the high stakes involved.

For Enyimba, a win on Sunday is not just about points—it is about restoring pride and proving their resilience in the face of adversity.

As the only Nigerian team left in this year’s CAF competitions, the People’s Elephant carry the weight of national expectation as they seek to keep their tournament hopes alive.
