El-Kanemi Warriors' upcoming CAF Confederation Cup (CAFCC) clash with Dadjè FC has been rescheduled to Friday, August 16, 2024. The match will take place at the Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne, as reported by BSNSports.com.ng.
Originally, this fixture was planned for Sunday, August 18, but logistical challenges necessitated a change. El-Kanemi Warriors, the reigning 2023/24 President Federation Cup champions, were scheduled to host the Benin side at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium in Abuja. However, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) disallowed the use of the MKO Stadium due to concerns over the pitch's condition.
The decision to move the match to Remo Stars Stadium reflects both the logistical hurdles and CAF’s commitment to ensuring the quality of the playing surface for international fixtures. El-Kanemi Warriors enter this fixture with heightened motivation, buoyed by a recent substantial financial boost. The Borno State Government awarded the team N35.2 million in recognition of their historic triumph, which ended a 32-year trophy drought.
The rescheduled match is a pivotal moment for the Warriors, who will be looking to build on their domestic success and make a strong impression in the continental competition.
