NFF Congratulates Sunshine Stars FC

The Nigeria Football Federation has congratulated Sunshine Stars FC of Akure for its progress into the semi finals of this year’s CAF Champions League.

NFF President Aminu Maigari,  who was delighted at the qualification of Sunshine Stars of Akure for the semi final of the CAF Champions League, said the NFF would not relent in its efforts to encourage the club to reach the final and also wining the prestigious trophy.

The ambitious boys of Governor Olusegun Mimiko were catapulted into the last four of the most lucrative club competition in the continent following Monday’s ejection of Etoile du Sahel of Tunisa from the group stage by the Confederation of African Football.

CAF threw out the respected Tunisian outfit following immense crowd trouble in their clash with Tunisian rivals Esperance Sportive du Tunis in Sousse penultimate weekend.


Sunshine Stars were on their way to the semi finals anyway, following the defeat of ASO Chlef of Algeria in Chlef in their last match and with a home tie against Etoile du Sahel in their final match of the group phase.

Sunshine Stars will play Cup holders Esperance in Tunis this weekend for top place in the group.
