Enyimba International FC of Aba will confront Senegalese side Diambers FC in the second preliminary round of the CAF Confederation Cup, Sportinglens.blogspot.com reports.
Enyimba will be on the road for the first leg of the second preliminary round tie between 15-17 October before hosting the return fixture a week later.
Diambers eliminated Guinean side Wakriya AC in the first preliminary round to set up a clash with Enyimba. Three second-half goals ensured a 3-0 win for the Senegalese club at the Stade Lat Dior in Thiès, Senegal, on Sunday.
Due to
political tension in Guinea, the Confederation of African Football released a
statement last week announcing that matches involving Guinea’s three
representatives in the first preliminary round of the Interclub Competitions
would be decided over a single leg in their opponents country. CAF’s decision,
therefore, means that Sunday’s win was enough for Diambers to advance to the
next stage.
Diambers,
co-founded by football great Patrick Vieira in 2003, are making their debut in
the Confederation Cup, but their participation in the Champions League in 2014
implies a previous experience in the CAF Interclub Competitions.
