Dolphins’ opponents in the second round of the CAF Champions League are expected to arrive in Port Harcourt on Friday for the first leg of the match.
Media Officer of Dolphins, China Acheru, confirmed that a delegation of players and officials of Coton Sport will arrive in Lagos late on Thursday night and then make their way to Port Harcourt on Friday.
Acheru said: “For now we expect 25-man delegation because that is what the rules stipulate and they have not told us anything contrary.
“However, if they come with anything more than that number, we will have to work things out with them so the game goes smoothly, bearing in mind that we will be in Cameroon in two weeks too.”
CotonSport was founded in 1986 and in that time they have won the Cameroonian league 11 times.
However, they have not been so lucky in the CAF Champions League.
In 1998 they were knocked out in the first round while in 1999, 2002, 2005 and 2006 they failed to make it past the second round.
However, in 2008, they got to the final losing to TP Mazembe of Congo.
They have not fared better in the CAF Confederation Cup only able to make it to the group stage once in 2004.
In 2007 and 2009 they only got to the second round while in 2010 they were knocked out in the first round.
