Former Lobi Stars Vice Chairman and ex-Super Eagles Striker Dominic Iorfa has charged Enyimba FC players to go all out for victory in their CAF Confederation Cup group D match day 2 encounter against Zamalek SC of Egypt on Sunday, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Iorfa who touched down in Uyo, Akwa Ibom state Friday evening to support the 2 times CAF Champions League winners in their quest for victory at the Godswill Akpabio Int'l Stadium "Nest of Champions" during Enyimba's training session reminded the players of the need to give their all especially when playing in the continent.

The Benue-born seasoned football administrator who went nostalgic about their playing days commended the team for their steadfastness as the only Nigerian club side still in the continent as he offered his full backing for the team, charging them to stay focused and disciplined during the game.

While reminding them of the counter-attacking flair of the North Africans, including Zamalek SC, Iorfa said they were beatable but that the players must be fully committed to their performance in the field of play. 

He, however, commended the current management of Enyimba FC under the leadership of King Kanu Papilo' Nwankwo and the Sporting Director, Ifeanyi Ekwueme for their commitment towards taking the team and NPFL to greater heights.

The People's Elephant will on Sunday by 5 pm take on Zamalek SC of Egypt in a CAF Confederation Cup group D match day 2 encounter.

The Aba giants lost their match day 1 clash against another Egyptian side, Al Masry, in Egypt 2-0 and are condemned for victory and the three points against Zamalek to keep their hopes alive to make the knockout stage.

 Zamalek, in their first game against Black Blulls of Mozambique, secured a 2-0 victory and touched down in Uyo on Friday evening with about 52-man contingent for the Sunday encounter.
