The owner of FC IfeanyiUbah, Dr Ifeanyi Ubah has declared that the club is set to conquer the continent next year.
The Anambra Warriors on Sunday in Lagos qualified to represent Nigeria in the 2017 CAF Confederation Cup following their 5-4 victory via penalties over Nasarawa United in the final of the Federation Cup played at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Lagos.
Ubah, who is the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Capital Oil, while speaking after his club won the Federation Cup in its first attempt expressed joy at the feat, just as he said the team’s focus is now on the continental championship.
“We have to put this victory behind and face the real business of representing the country very well at the continental level. We cannot afford to fail.
“Playing at the international level is a different ball game and as such, all the management teams are working round the clock to ensure that we excel at that level. We are bringing in new players to beef up the team before we start our continental campaign. Also, so many innovations will be introduced to make this team become a brand and the envy of all even on the continent,” an elated Ubah said.
He stated that Sunday’s final lived up to its billings.
“This is an explosive final that shows the level of development of football in the country,” he said adding “we should improve on it.”
