With Warri Wolves drawn to play AC Leopard of Congo in the last match before the group stage and with the first leg away from home, the Managing Director of Warri Wolves, Davidson Owumi, has said wolves will make it to the group stage.
Owumi, who spoke immediately after the draw that was conducted by the General Secretary of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), Hicham El Amrani, said the God that started the good work will not abandon them at this stage. Moreover, they will work hard to see that they do not disappoint the Governor of Delta State, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan, who has been a driving force behind the team.
According to Owumi, the team is ready to face opposition in the continent and, hopefully, they will overcome.
He said: “We are cock sure of qualifying for the group stage, and that has been our dream. Our God that has been helping us will not disappoint us, and with the governor behind us like he has been doing, we will scale through. We will have to double our effort this time around and we know we will get there.”
On his part, Coach Paul Aigbogun said they had always prepared for any of the teams, and the most important thing is for the boys to play well.
He said he would have to find out now how they play and that the first leg away will afford them to prepare well and get a good result.
The first leg comes up in Congo in the weekend of May 15, 16 and 17, while the second leg comes up in Warri City Stadium on June 7.
