Following their dominant 6-0 victory over King Boma in the State FA Cup semi-final, Rivers United now shift their focus to the bigger stage of the CAF Confederation Cup.
The Nigerian representatives face a formidable challenge in the first leg of their quarter-final matchup against USM Alger, the reigning champions.
While USM Alger are determined to defend their title, Rivers United harbors ambitions of etching their name in history as the first Nigerian club to win an African title since Enyimba’s triumph in the 2005 CAF Super Cup.
