At the CAF club draw on Thursday, three Nigerian clubs, Enugu Rangers, the 2023/24 NPFL champions, Remo Stars, who finished second, and El Kanemi Warriors, the President Cup winners, were drawn in the first round of the tournament.
Meanwhile, Enyimba drew a bye into the second round. This was because of their consistent performance in CAF games, which was similar to Rivers United last season.
Remo Stars, who have been on the continent for two consecutive seasons, will have revenge on their minds after they drew the Moroccan side AS FAR Rabat.
