Lobi Stars target first round hurdle in CAF Champions League

Nigeria’s sole CAF Champions League representative, Lobi Stars fancy their chances of reaching the first round of the tournament despite having to first face Cameroon’s UMS de Loum in the preliminary rounds.

Lobi Stars, who return to the tournament for the first time after 8 seasons, found out their preliminary round  opponents on Saturday and are beaming with confidence; they are already looking to facing Kenya club Gor Mahia.

UMS de Loum play their home matches at the Stade de Njombé and have made only one previous appearance in the Champions League.
