CAF has appointed top Senegalese referee Issa Sy to take charge of the crucial CAF Champions League group-stage clash between Rivers United and RS Berkane this Friday in Uyo, an appointment that underlines just how big this fixture is.
Rivers United heads into the match with something to prove after a bruising 3–0 defeat to defending champions Pyramids SC in Cairo on opening day of the group stage.
Now, with home fans behind them and their campaign already under pressure, the Pride of Rivers know they cannot afford another slip.
RS Berkane, experienced continental campaigners and former Confederation Cup winners, arrives in Nigeria looking to seize early control of the group.
Both sides understand that Friday’s result could set the tone for the entire campaign.
With Issa Sy in the middle, known for his calm authority and firm grip on high-tension matches, expect a fierce, fast, no-nonsense contest under the Uyo floodlights.
The Champions League drama is about to ignite.
