Rivers United captain Festus Austin has stated that the players of the Nigeria Premier Football League Champions Rivers United are ready to play by CAF’s new directive with the Matchday 4 clash against DC Motema Pembe rescheduled for Thursday 9th March after the failure of the away team to report for the game on the original date of Wednesday 8th March 2023.
Austin speaking in a chat with brila.net said while the team wanted to play on the original date, the players wouldn’t have any problem getting to the field of play to honour the game on Thursday but stressed as well that the away teams requested for too much in that DC Motema even requested for 8pm on Thursday while Rivers United wanted 5pm but that the players will be ready to do their job with any time schedule.
