After the team’s ouster from the CAF Confederations Cup, management of Warri Wolves FC has commended its teeming fans and urged them to give them the same support in the league.
Media Officer of the team, Moses Etu, said the management is happy with the fans despite its ouster from the CAF Confederations Cup.
According to him, the management has expressed gratitude to all the fans from every nook and cranny of the country who turned up to cheer the team in its continental match penultimate Saturday and urged them to extend the same support in its league matches.
He said during the week: “We are grateful to all our fans for their support last Saturday. It was fantastic and we want them to extend it to the league matches.”
For the second season in a row, no Nigerian club has made it to the group stage of any CAF club competition.
Wolves was bundled out of the competition after it lost 3-4 on aggregate to AC Leopards of Congo.
It thus became the third Nigerian club to fall to the superior fireworks of AC Leopards. Heartland got eliminated by the same Congolese side on the away goals rule in the 2012 CAF Confederation Cup and Kano Pillars in the 2013 CAF Champions League.
Meanwhile, the team has written to the League Management Company (LMC) requesting the postponement of its league match with Kano Pillars and others in view of the invitation of seven of its first 11 players to the national teams.
