A 19-man
squad was led out of Lagos on Wednesday afternoon by coach Abdu Maikaba as they
are hopeful of securing group stage spot in the Caf inter-club competition.
The
delegation boarded Ethiopian Airline to Ethiopia from where they connected
flight to Sudan for the 1st leg of the CAF Confederation Cup playoffs against
Al-Hilal. The match comes up on Sunday
The Promise
Keepers had edged past Hawks of Gambia and Al-Ittihad of Libya in the first and
second round of the competition to reach this stage.
Before their
trip, first-half strikes from Martins Usule and Destiny Ashadi saw the
Uyo-based side suffered their fourth league defeat this season at Katsina
United.
Despite
their recent slip, Maikaba's side would aim to put up a good display enough to
secure a positive first-leg advantage at the Al-Hilal Stadium on Sunday.
