Enyimba FC’s technical adviser, Yemi Olanrewaju, has affirmed that the team is determined to compete fiercely on both domestic and continental fronts this season. The two-time CAF Champions League winners are gearing up for their CAF Confederation Cup opener against Egyptian side Al Masry on Wednesday but remain equally committed to their Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) campaign.
Speaking to Complete Sports, Olanrewaju emphasized the importance of maintaining focus across both competitions. “We know it’s going to be a tough game, but we don’t want to focus solely on the continental competition while losing sight of our objectives here at home,” he said. “We want to compete for the league title till the end while also representing the club and the country well in the continental tournament.”
Enyimba, placed in Group D of the CAF Confederation Cup, face a challenging group that includes Mozambique’s Black Bull and Egyptian heavyweights Zamalek and Al Masry. Despite the stiff competition, Olanrewaju is optimistic about the team’s prospects, highlighting the squad’s depth and resilience.
Domestically, the People’s Elephant are eyeing a strong finish in the NPFL to secure their place as one of Nigeria’s top footballing sides. Balancing the physical and tactical demands of both competitions will be crucial as the Aba-based club seeks to solidify its status as a football powerhouse.
Fans eagerly await Enyimba’s campaign, hoping for a stellar performance that underscores their dominance at home and competitiveness on the continent.
