CAFCC: Rivers United players with a point to prove after pre-season tournament triumph – Festus Austin

Stanley Eguma will have a squad of players ready to fight for their place in his “Pride of Rivers” side as they prepare to begin their CAF Confederation’s cup campaign in 10 days’ time.

With the acquisition of star players like Theophilus Afelokai, Ifeanyi Anaemena, Godwin Aguda, Destiny Ashadi, the landscape of the Rivers United squad is very different compared to their last term out on the continent.

Captain of the side Festus Austin in an exclusive chat with the club’s media team says the players know they must forget about their names, what they have all achieved in the past, and play football.

Hear him;

“Rivers United this time is a strong side and what we need is just for us to forget our names and let’s play football. Let’s think of now and not what we have achieved in the past.”

“Being with this set of players, we are going to go a long way if we work so hard. I will play my role to see how I push everybody to work positively for the team”.

River United will travel to Equatorial Guinea to confront Futuro Kings FC in the CAF Confederation’s cup preliminary round 1st leg tie scheduled for 27th-29th November and the return leg in Nigeria between 4th-6th December 2020.
