El-Kanemi Warriors, the reigning Federation Cup champions, have selected Moshood Abiola Stadium in Abuja as their home ground for their CAF Confederation Cup campaign. This decision was made after their home ground, El-Kanemi Stadium in Maiduguri, failed to meet the required CAF standards.
Under the guidance of coach Aliyu Zubairu, the Warriors will face Beninese club Dadje FC in the preliminary round. The first leg is scheduled between August 16 and 18, while the second leg will take place between August 23 and 25.
If the Maiduguri-based club triumphs over Dadje FC, they will face former champions RS Berkane of Morocco in the second preliminary round.
