CAF Set To Phase Out Confederation Cup

The dream of Nigerian clubs to win the Confederation Cup seems to have become an illusion as the competition is set to be dumped out. 

Nigeria has won all the CAF inter-club competitions through Enyimba International, Shooting Stars, and Rangers International but the Confederation Cup remained a dream. Rivers United has played in the quarter-final of the tournament back-to-back in recent times.

 According to the update from the CAF headquarters in Cairo, Egypt, the football body has decided to stick with the African Football League and Champions League while the Confederation Cup is to be cancelled. Major clubs across the continent always feel reluctant when they are to participate in the Confederation Cup.
