El-Kanemi Warriors Head to Bissau for CAF Confederation Cup Second Leg vs UDIB
El-Kanemi Warriors departed Lagos on Friday, September 10, 2026, for the second leg of their CAF Confederation Cup first preliminary round clash against UDIB of Guinea-Bissau. The team flew from Murtala Mohammed International Airport to Bissau, where the match will be held on Sunday, September 13, at the Estádio Nacional 24 de Setembro. El-Kanemi won the first leg 3-0 at Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne, giving them a strong advantage to advance to the next round.
This matters for Nigerian football fans because the Borno side is on the verge of progressing in a continental competition for the first time since their 2024 early exit to Dadje FC in the same stage. A win or even a draw in Bissau would secure their place in the second preliminary round, potentially boosting the profile of Nigerian club football and providing motivation for other local sides.
If you want to follow the clash, kickoff is scheduled for Sunday afternoon (local time). Remember that El-Kanemi only needs to avoid a heavy defeat to advance, given their three-goal cushion. Consider checking live updates via sports broadcasters or the CAF website, and note that the team’s journey highlights the growing competitiveness of Nigerian clubs on the African stage.
