CAF reduces Nigeria’s slots in Champions League, Confederation Cup

By Daily Sports on July 25, 2018

Nigeria will only be represented by the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) champions and Aiteo Cup winners in next year’s CAF Champions League and the CAF Confederation Cup.

This development came to the fore as Nigeria have been stripped of the additional slots having two clubs in each of the continental championships as a result of the poor performances of the country’s clubs in recent years.

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) have officially notified the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) of this development.

This year, only Enyimba are still in the running in the group stage of the CAF Confederation Cup after reigning NPFL champions Plateau United and MFM FC of Lagos were eliminated in the Champions League, while Aiteo cup holders Akwa United also crashed out in the Confederation Cup.

Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, Zambia, Mozambique, South Africa and DR Congo are now among the 12 countries who can produce two clubs in both continental competitions from next year. (Tribune)
