on hold, the League Management Company (LMC) announced Tuesday

representatives in the CAF Confederations Cup prepare adequately for the return leg clash with Ivorian side, Sewe Sports.

we are mindful of the travel constraints of having to arrive Nigeria on
Monday, travelling to Kano and returning to Sapele to host the return leg
by weekend

club competition to succeed and they will need to prepare adequately
and focus on the task of cancelling out the two goals deficit
He said the LMC will in the days ahead announce a date for the
rescheduled fixture and assured that the postponement of the match will
not cause any schedule disruptions to the season.
