Shooting Stars Chairman Confident of Qualifying Against CS Sfaxien
Shooting Stars Chairman Taiwo Lekan-Salami says his players are charged and motivated for the CAF Confederation Cup first preliminary round second leg against Tunisian side CS Sfaxien. Speaking to 3SCFANTV, Salami noted that the team is enjoying their stay in Sfax, describing it as “very lovely,” and emphasized that the boys are ready for the encounter. The Oluyole Warriors head into the match with a 1-0 lead from the first leg, and the fixture is set for Sunday at Taieb Mhiri Stadium in Sfax.
Salami explained that the qualification requirement is straightforward: Shooting Stars must either win or draw to advance to the next round. He stated that he does not expect a loss and believes the team will win, saying the clear goal is to qualify and move forward in the competition.
For Nigerian football supporters, the match carries importance beyond pride. A successful outcome would see Shooting Stars continue their continental run, potentially earn prize money, and raise the club’s profile on the African stage. Conversely, a loss would end their CAF Confederation Cup campaign and halt any further progress in the tournament.
Will Shooting Stars maintain their advantage and secure qualification, or will CS Sfaxien overturn the deficit and knock the Oluyole Warriors out of the competition?
