El-Kanemi Warriors, have chosen to play their CAF Confederation Cup matches at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium in Abuja,
A chieftain of the club from the troubled North East of Nigeria disclosed the management of settled for the Moshood Abiola National Stadium in Abuja after considering other options closer to Maiduguri.
They thought about playing in Gombe, Bauchi, and Jos but settled for Abuja.
From the onset, we already knew that our El-Kanemi Stadium in Maiduguri would not meet CAF standards,
So we quickly made checks on nearby stadium in the North East and North Central and decided that the Moshood Abiola National Stadium would be suitable for us, subject to approval by CAF and the federal government.
