Enyimba to play Vieira’s Diambers in CAF Confederation Cup

Enyimba of Aba will play against Senegalese side Diambers FC in the second round preliminary of the CAF Confederation Cup.

Enyimba are away for the first leg between October 15-17 weekend before hosting the return fixture a week later.
Diambers beat Guinean side Wakriya AC in the first preliminary round with three second-half goals at the Stade Lat Dior in Thiès, Senegal, last Sunday.
Owing 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.
