Enyimba forward Brown Ideye has reacted to the team’s elimination from the CAF Confederation Cup, following a 3-1 loss to title holders Zamalek on Sunday night in Cairo. The People’s Elephant, two-time African champions, concluded their campaign in Group D, finishing third with just five points from six matches.

Despite the disappointment, Ideye took to social media platform X, expressing optimism with a message stating, “Unto the next one…” His words reflect a determination to move forward and focus on future opportunities.
Domestic Focus Ahead
With their continental journey over, Enyimba will now shift their attention to domestic competitions, including the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) and the Federation Cup, as they aim to bounce back and secure success on home soil.
Wikki Tourists Struggle in NPFL

Preparing for Redemption
Maikaba emphasized the need for thorough analysis to address areas of weakness and vowed to make necessary corrections before their next fixture against Sokoto United. The team aims to regroup and regain momentum in the league.
