2024/2025 CAF Confederation Cup: Enyimba International FC slams Al Masry FC over mind games

Posted : 12 January 2025

Ahead of the upcoming 2024/2025 CAF Confederation Cup Match Day 5 fixture against Al Masry of Egypt in Uyo, Enyimba FC Sporting Director, Ifeanyi Ekwueme, has reacted to news circulating from the camp of their opponent, Al Masry, by calling them noisemakers trying to play mind games. He criticized them for labeling the most successful Nigerian club, Enyimba FC, as unprofessional.  


Recall that Al Masry FC officials have been crying wolf over allegations of mistreatment of their players since their arrival in Nigeria for Sunday’s game.  


The two-time CAF Champions League winners, the People's Elephant, however, dismissed the report as baseless.  


"They’re noisemakers. They were hiding their trip from us. They booked their local tickets without involving us, the management, but then sent us an invoice for refunds. Imagine their tricks.  


"CAF officials are on the ground and will write their own report. Let’s see how it pans out.  


"When we were in Egypt, what treatment did we get? We had to pay for our training pitch before we could train.  


"We had access to the stadium for just an hour, but they want to use the Uyo pitch for two days before match day, which is against CAF rules.  


"We eventually allowed them to have access to the pitch for an hour, but they stubbornly went against the agreement and trained for two hours.  


"We have received every visiting team with the best hospitality in Uyo so far.  


"When we traveled to Egypt, it was our embassy that helped us organize things.  


"We won’t be distracted by their antics. Instead, we’ll stay focused on the match, do the talking on the pitch, beat them, and secure the important 3 points, by God's grace," he said.
