The team from Algeria was welcomed by Enyimba Chairman Nwankwo Kanu who was waiting for them at the Sam Mbakwe Airport in Owerri.
After putting on a strong showing in the first leg of the CAF Champions League match against Al Ahli Benghazi, the People’s Elephant headed back to their camp.
When he received the players and coaches, Kanu praised them for their valiant effort last Sunday at the Martyrs of Benina Stadium.
The team was reassured of the club’s backing by the former African footballer of the year, who also urged them to go all-out for the win in the rematch.
On Sunday, the second leg is scheduled to take place at the Enyimba International Stadium in Aba.
The team, coached by Finidi George, will seek to overcome a 4-3 deficit to move on to the next round of the CAF Champions League.
