According to NPFL News on X, Enyimba contingent did not make the trip to Casablanca as earlier scheduled, after the Moroccan Authorities failed to issue a landing permit for a chattered aircraft from the Murtala Mohammed International airport.

The first leg tie played inside the Godswill Akpabio International stadium in Uyo ended 1-0 in favour of Wydad.

Enyimba has a player sent off in stoppage time in the encounter.

It was initially launched as the Africa Super League on 10 August 2022 and was to include twenty-four elite African clubs with a promotion/relegation system, but is scaled down to eight teams for its inaugural campaign.
