The NPFL champions have failed to make it into the group stage in eight of the last 10 seasons of the CAF Champions League.

Defeated by CR Belouizdad of Tunisia 2-1

“Concerning the inability of NPFL champions to go far in African competitions, it’s a story of three to four angles you need to look at. “A good example is Enyimba, last season. They had to make publicity stunts before getting funds to prosecute away matches.” “You can’t always get lucky in terms of replacements that can perform on the continent because African Football is technical and you have to consider a lot of players. We don’t know how many of their players will be lost by the time the league resumes.

“They stand a great chance of going far this time around. From the beginning of the season, you can see that they have been doing well. They participated in a continental tournament and they were able to keep the game running because they were already in the mood. They were in form and had enough time to recruit very well.
