El-Kanemi Warriors were crowned champions of the previous edition of the competition. The winners of this year’s tournament will earn a spot in the CAF Confederation Cup next season.

Meanwhile, Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen is set to remain at Turkish giants Galatasaray following a successful loan spell with the club.

Galatasaray president, Dursun Ozbek, confirmed that the club is in advanced negotiations to secure Osimhen’s services on a permanent basis, despite strong interest from Saudi Pro League side, Al-Hilal.

Recall that Al-Hilal were prepared to activate the €75 million release clause in Osimhen’s contract. However, the 26-year-old Nigerian striker, reportedly rejected a lucrative move to the Middle East, expressing a clear preference to continue his career in Europe.

“Victor Osimhen is staying at Galatasaray, his affection will be the most important factor. Negotiations are ongoing,” Ozbek told Turkish outlet Hurriyet on Sunday.

“We hope to give you good news next week,” he added, hinting at a possible announcement soon.
