Akwa Ibom FA Boss Rallies Behind Enyimba Ahead of Crucial CAF Confederation Cup Clash



Samuel Umoh, the Chairman of the Akwa Ibom State Football Association, recently visited Enyimba FC during their training at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium. The purpose of the visit was to rally support and boost the morale of the team as they prepare for their crucial CAF Confederation Cup match against Etoile Filante. Umoh's presence underlined the state's commitment to backing the People's Elephant in their quest for success on the continental stage.

During his visit, Chairman Umoh emphasized the strong ties between Enyimba FC and Akwa Ibom, calling the team "family." He highlighted the pride the state feels in Enyimba's accomplishments, assuring the team that they have the full support of the local football community. "Enyimba is family, and we are proud of their achievements," Umoh said, reinforcing his dedication to ensuring the team has the necessary support to excel.

In a motivational speech to the players, Umoh reminded them of the weight of their responsibility, not just to the club but to the entire country. "You are not fighting for yourselves nor Enyimba, you're fighting for Nigeria, and we are solidly behind you," he told the squad. He stressed that their victories would resonate far beyond the football pitch, symbolizing triumphs for both the club and the nation as a whole.

As Enyimba FC prepares for their pivotal second-leg match against Etoile Filante on September 22, 2024, the team has been training rigorously under the guidance of Coach Yemi Olarenwaju. A victory in this match would secure their place in the group stages of the CAF Confederation Cup, a goal that both the team and their supporters are eager to achieve. With high stakes and national pride on the line, Umoh expressed his confidence in the team's abilities, urging them to "go out there and make Nigeria proud."
