Rivers United’s head coach, Finidi George, is optimistic about his team’s chances of clinching a coveted spot in the CAF Champions League at the conclusion of the 2024-25 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season.

With a strong performance throughout the campaign, the team currently sits in second place with 61 points, creating a solid foundation for their final push.

As the team gears up for its last NPFL match against Nasarawa United in Port Harcourt, excitement among fans is palpable. Competing closely behind them are the Abia Warriors, who occupy the third position on the league table, trailing Rivers United by a single point. This intensifies the stakes for both teams as they enter the final matchday.

“I am confident in our ability to secure the result we need against Nasarawa United,” Finidi stated in an interview with Rivers United’s media team.

“We are still in a good place. We have our last home match, and if we win that one, we are guaranteed to finish in second place, ensuring our berth in the Champions League next season.”
Saturday’s clash at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium is set to be a thrilling encounter, not only for the players but also for the passionate fanbase that has supported Rivers United throughout the season. The victory would assure the team of its position, while a win for the Abia Warriors against Ikorodu City in Lagos could complicate matters significantly.

The stakes are high, as only the champions, Remo Stars, and the runners-up from the NPFL will qualify for the prestigious CAF Champions League. Meanwhile, the third-placed team, along with the winner of the Federation Cup, will have the opportunity to compete in the CAF Confederation Cup.

Finidi and his players are well aware of the implications of their performance in the last league match of the season. The coach emphasized the importance of maintaining focus and composure under pressure, hoping to translate their training into success on the pitch.

As anticipation builds for this decisive matchup, Rivers United is determined to seize the moment and ensure their place among Africa’s elite in club football. The outcome promises to be critical not just for this season but also for the future ambitions of the club on the continental stage.
