The “Pride of Rivers” have been confirmed as participants in the Ifeanyi Ekwueme Tico/Select preseason tournament alongside the likes of Rangers, Heartland, Apex Krane, Ingas FC, Cynosure FC and Abia Warriors.
Rivers United – who will face Heartland FC in her first game will also confront Apex Krane, Abia Warriors and Firstmahi FC who complete teams in group B.
The involvement of Rivers United – who will host Egyptian club Al Masry on November 28 in CAF TotalEnergies Confederation Cup additional playoff round – comes with great importance as the tournament will provide a platform for fine-tuning of the team’s strategy.
