The Nigeria Federation Cup champions will host RS Berkane of Morocco in the first leg of the second preliminary round of the Confederation Cup.

The Press Secretary to the state government Andrew Okungboruwa explained to the media what they have put in place to overcome the Moroccan side come next week.

”All is set as our darling team, Bendel Insurance FC, hosts Renaissance Sportive de Berkane of Morocco in the 1st leg of the 2nd Qualifying Round of the CAF Confederation Cup.

“The Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, with its state-of-the-art facilities and impeccable pitch conditions, has been meticulously prepared for this great encounter, and our football-loving fans and supporters are ready and eager, as always, to fill the 12,000-capacity stadium with their cheers and support for the players, creating an electrifying atmosphere that will certainly inspire the home team to victory.

“It is going to be another carnival-like festival Saturday in Benin, as the State Governor has given us a matching order to mobilize Edo people, just as we did in the first leg last month, to cheer our darling Insurance to victory.

"We have already set machinery in place to mobilize our people and to ensure that the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium is filled on match day with fans from across the state as we are going to provide free transportation from 12 different locations in the city to take people to the stadium and return them after the game," he said.
