Nigeria Professional Football League side Rivers United have arrived Port Novo, Benin Republic, ahead of their second leg preliminary round CAF Confederation Cup clash against South African side Bloemfontein Celtic.
The game will be played at the Charles de Gaulle Stadium, Port Novo on Saturday.
Rivers coach Stanley Eguma confirmed this to our correspondent on Thursday.
“We are in Benin Republic for the second leg game,” Eguma told The PUNCH.
The Confederation of African Football postponed the second leg initially scheduled for January 6 in Port Harcourt and moved it to Benin Republic after the Nigeria Football Federation wrote the continental football body seeking a shift of date and venue following COVID-19 restrictions in the country.
