CONFEDERATION CUP: Seychelles officials arrive for Wolves Vs FCMK match

Referee Bernard Camille and his compatriots from Seychelles are expected in Nigeria on Thursday for Saturday’s CAF Confederation Cup second round, first leg match between Warri Wolves FC and DR Congo side, FCMK.

The Nigeria Football Federation has already perfected plans for visas at the point of entry for the

officials, as Nigeria has no embassy in the Indian Ocean Island. Hensley Danny Petrousse, Jean Joseph Felix Ernesta and Nelson Emile Fred will serve as 1st Assistant, 2nd Assistant and Reserve Referee respectively.

Wolves, who ejected Dedebit FC of Ethiopia in the first round on a 2-0 aggregate, have a bigger task against the Congolese, 6-3 winners over Ahly Shandy of Sudan.

In other CAF Confederation Cup games this weekend, Orlando Pirates of South Africa take on CF Mounana in Gabon, while Young Africans of Tanzania host Etoile du Sahel of Tunisia.

ASEC Mimosas of Cote d’Ivoire are away to Onze Createurs of Mali, and Swaziland’s Royal Leopards, a team of security operatives and part-timers, hope to continue their fairy tale run against AS Vita of DR Congo, last year’s CAF Champions League runners-up.

Zamalek of Egypt host FUS of Morocco in an all-North African clash, as is the fixture between ASO Chief of Algeria and Club Africain of Tunisia.

In the CAF Champions League, four tantalizing all-North African clashes take the cake. Champions Entente Setif play away to Raja Casablanca of Morocco, and Al Merreikh of Sudan host Esperance from Tunisia. Moghreb Tetouan of Morocco, who sent packing Kano Pillars of Nigeria, are at home to Al Ahly of Egypt, while MC Eulma of Algeria take on CS Sfaxien of Tunisia.

Smouha FC of Egypt, conquerors of Nigeria’s Enyimba, are away to AC Leopards of Congo, while Stade Malien are home to TP Mazembe of DR Congo.
