CAF listened to Enyimba's plea to reschedule the match on account of not arriving in time to prepare well for the match

has postponed the CAF Confederation Cup qualifier playoff between Enyimba and Al Ittihad of Libya scheduled for Monastir, Tunisia.

According to Enyimba’s Friday letter sent by Felix Anyansi Agwu and published by the Guardian, “We write to officially notify you of the extremely difficult situations currently encountered by Enyimba FC for the CAF Confederation Cup playoff fixture against Al-Ittihad. Anyansi further said: “Efforts by the club’s management and the Nigerian Embassy in Tunisia to get a special waiver for the team have not yielded results, even in spite of the team providing proof of negative COVID-19 test results. The only other alternative given was to observe a 7-day quarantine upon arrival in Tunisia but with the game just two days away, that option becomes completely unrealistic.

The club proceeded to secure Libyan visas, only to be notified a few days ago that the game would be played in Tunisia. The club had to race against time to obtain Tunisian visas, only to be faced with this ugly situation, he wrote.
