El-Kanemi Warriors are set to depart Nigeria for Bissau, Guinea-Bissau, as they continue their campaign in the CAF Confederation Cup with a commanding advantage from the first leg.
The Babagana Umara Zulum Boys secured a convincing 3–0 victory in the first leg in Ikenne, putting themselves in a strong position ahead of Sunday’s return fixture.
Sports247 reports that the Nigerian representatives will now travel to Bissau determined to protect their advantage and complete the job against their opponents in the first preliminary-round tie.
The second leg is scheduled to take place on Sunday, September 13, 2026, at the Estádio Nacional 24 de Setembro in Bissau, where El-Kanemi will be seeking a result that will secure their progression to the next stage of the continental competition.
The three-goal cushion gives the Maiduguri-based club considerable confidence going into the away encounter, but the Warriors are expected to approach the game with discipline and concentration as they look to avoid any late complications.
Playing away from home in continental competition presents its own challenges, and the Nigerian side will need to remain organised throughout the contest while managing the advantage gained in Ikenne.
For El-Kanemi Warriors, qualification would represent another important step in their continental journey and provide an opportunity to continue testing themselves against opposition from across Africa.
The team is expected to travel with determination and focus, while supporters will be hoping the Warriors can produce another assured performance to secure their place in the next round.
With a 3–0 aggregate advantage, El-Kanemi Warriors hold the upper hand heading into the return leg. The focus now shifts to Bissau, where the Babagana Umara Zulum Boys will look to finish the job and keep their CAF Confederation Cup campaign alive.
