Rivers United of Port Harcourt has raised the alarm over an alleged death threat on the players and officials by fans of Egyptian club, Al Masry, who are hosting the Nigerian club in the CAF Confederation Cup this weekend.

Rivers United, which has described the death threat as part of antics to destabilise the Nigerian side ahead of the Confederation Cup play-off return leg slated for Alexandria, Egypt on Sunday, has already informed Africa’s football ruling body, Confederation of African Football , about the threat.

“Al Masry in various official social media posts and their corresponding fans’ comments have threatened to hurt members of Rivers United during their visit to Egypt. Threat statements like “we will kill you,” “welcome to hell,” and photos of knives, machetes, and flares dominate comments in Al Masry’s official posts.

“Rivers United has also gotten information that COVID-19 test manipulations will also be employed to further weaken the team.”
