CAF will confirm the kick-off time for the final in due course.
This is the first major intercontinental cup final to be hosted at Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo. Uyo is the capital of Akwa Ibom State – the home of Nigeria’s Premier League side Akwa United.
Former Akwa United defender Olisa Ndah could feature in the final with Orlando Pirates.
Last year, the TotalEnergies Confederation Cup final was hosted in Cotonou, Benin where Morocco’s Raja Club Athletic beat Algerian side, JS Kabylie 2-1.
