Moroccan football heavyweights, RS Berkane, have officially arrived in Uyo, Nigeria, ahead of their crucial CAF Champions League group stage encounter against Rivers United. The North African contingent landed at the Victor Attah International Airport on Wednesday night.

The full traveling party, consisting of both players and officials, signaled their arrival with a brief, optimistic message: “Hello, Uyo.”

RS Berkane will lock horns with the Nigerian champions at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo on Friday, November 28, 2025. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:00 p.m. GMT (5:00 p.m. local time).

The Moroccan side, known for their continental pedigree, will hold their mandatory pre-match training session at the match venue later today, Thursday, at 5 p.m.
