Two Nigerian clubs, Bendel Insurance and Rivers United are back to compete on the continent against their counterparts from other African countries in the CAF Confederation Cup.
Unlike in previous years when teams who drop out from the Champions League are offered an escape route through the Confederation Cup, it is already the end of the road for Remo Stars and Enyimba after their short-lived campaigns.
Having pulled a shocker against Algerian side ASO Chlef in the preliminary stage, Bendel Insurance will be facing another Maghreb club side, RS Berkane in the battle for a place in the group stages of the Confederation Cup.
