Confed: Ikenne home away from home – El Kanemi keeper Abine

El-Kanemi picked the second CAF Confederation Cup ticket by beating Abia Warriors 2-0 in the final of the President Federation Cup in Lagos in June.

Nasiru Salihu scored both goals to seal El-Kanemi’s third title just as they returned to the Nigeria Premier Football League.

As they make their return to the top flight, they also have to navigate the tough continental preliminaries, and Abine, who were instrumental to their Federation Cup win, believes playing in Ikenne won’t affect them.

“We actually won the FA Cup far away from home, and the culture of the team is anywhere is our home,” the goalkeeper told PUNCH Sports Extra.

“Since we arrived in Ikenne, the atmosphere has been good, and we have been having very intense training sessions.”
