Enyimba`s Hope Revived by CAF Victory

Enyimba, the nine-time Nigerian Premier Football League champions, are currently facing a tough period in their domestic campaign. With no wins in their last seven league matches, they find themselves in ninth place on the NPFL table, accumulating 24 points from 16 games. Their last league victory came on October 27, 2024, against Ikorodu City, where they secured a 2-1 win.

Despite their struggles in the NPFL, Enyimba recently found a much-needed boost in the CAF Confederation Cup. They ended a 10-game winless streak with a commanding 4-1 victory over Mozambique's Black Bulls at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo. Joseph Atule made a significant impact by scoring two goals, marking his return from injury with an early strike within the first six minutes. Brown Ideye, a recent addition to the squad, also made headlines by netting his first goal for the club in the 67th minute. Ifeanyi Ihemekwele contributed to the scoreline, further solidifying the team's performance in the continental competition.

Team manager Okey Nwabeke has set ambitious goals for Enyimba, aiming for a top-three finish in the league. He emphasized the importance of securing either the league title or a continental ticket, as the team focuses on gaining nine points from their three outstanding matches to improve their league standing.
