Rivers United coach Stanley Eguma has insisted that they can play their home game anywhere in Nigeria.
The Pride of Rivers began their campaign in the group stage of the CAF Confederation Cup on Sunday with a 3-0 spanking of APC Lobito in Uyo.
Eguma made it clear that though Port-Harcourt is their fortress but quickly said they are capable of playing their home game anywhere in the country.
“Uyo is Nigeria and Port-Harcourt is also Nigeria and we are a Nigerian team.
“So we play anywhere, we have even left Nigeria to play in Benin Republic in the past, though everyone must have their fortress and our home is Port-Harcourt but now that the conditions don’t allow us to play there, we can play anywhere, so it’s Nigeria”, he said.
Meanwhile, The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has made appointments of match officials for Round 2 of the group stages of the 2023/24 CAF Confederation Cup for the game between Dreams FC and Rivers United.
Congolese referee, Messie Jessie Oved Nkounkou Mvoutou, has been selected to take charge of the game as the center referee.
He will be supported on the flanks by his countrymen Styven Danek Styven Moutsassi Moyo (Assistant I), Malondi Chany Yanes (Assistant II) and Pierre Jean Nguiene (Fourth Referee).
Dreams FC after losing 2-0 to Club Africain in Round 1 is aiming to beat Rivers United in the second group game.
The match between the Ghanaian side and the team from Nigeria will be played on Sunday, December 3, at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.
