Nine-Time Nigerian champions, Enyimba, have announce the signing of 2013 AFCON winner, Brown Ideye, until the end of the current season. The Aba giants confirmed the new addition in a statement it posted on its X handle on Monday. “We are delighted to officially announce the addition of former Super Eagles Striker, Brown Ideye to our fold. “We are expectant of the experience & professionalism he will add to our game/quest in our remaining games, this season especially under the New Gaffer,” the statement read. Since leaving Kuwaiti side Al Yarmouk in 2022, the 36-year-old has been without a club since. He joins former international teammates Ahmed Musa and Abdullahi Shehu who are currently playing for Kano Pillars in the league. It marks the return of Ideye to the domestic league 17 years after leaving Ocean Boys to Europe where he spent years playing for Neuchâtel Xamax, Sochaux and Dynamo Kyiv. The Aba Elephants will be hoping that the addition of Ideye will help them end recent dip in form which has seen them dismiss coach Head Coach Yemi Olarenwaju and hired Stanley Eguma to take over. Enyimba wielded the big stick after going nine games without a win.

The 2024/25 CAF Confederation Cup group stage promises thrilling action after title holders Zamalek were drawn to face Nigerian giants Enyimba following the Group Stage draw on Monday. Several former champions, including USM Alger, Zamalek SC, and RS Berkane are involved in the group stage this year as they gear up for fierce competition. The Egyptian side Zamalek were also placed in the same group as their compatriot Al Masry and Black Bulls in what promises to be an exciting Group D. Zamalek SC are seeking to add another CAF Confederation Cup to their illustrious history, but face a tricky group. Group B features former champions RS Berkane of Morocco, who will look to excel against Mali’s Stade Malien, CD Lundal Sul, and South African debutants Stellenbosch. Berkane are tipped by some as favourites to advance, but their challengers are determined to disrupt the status quo. Group C includes former champions USM Alger from Algeria, who will battle ASEC Mimosas, ASC Jaraaf and Orapa United. With USM Alger’s pedigree and ASEC’s ambition, this group is expected to deliver high-quality football with ASC Jaraaf and Orapa United proving to be no pushovers. Group A is arguably the “Group of Death,” featuring Simba SC of Tanzania, CS Sfaxien from Tunisia, and Algerian powerhouses CS Constantine. Angola’s Bravos do Maquis complete the group, but the focus will be on the heavyweight clashes among Simba, Sfaxien, and CS Constantine, all of whom have serious continental credentials. The group stage kicks off in November, setting the stage for some of Africa’s biggest clubs to chase TotalEnergies CAF Confederation Cup glory. Below are the groups 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩 A: Simba SC, CS Sfaxien, CS Constantine, FC Bravos do Maquis 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩 B: RS Berkane, Stade Malien, Stellenbosch, CD Lundal Sul 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩 C: USM Alger, ASEC Mimosas, ASC Jaraaf, Orapa United 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩 D: Zamalek SC, Al Masry, Enyimba, Black Bulls.
