Barely few hours to the commencement of The Super 8 tournament, scheduled for Saturday at the Enyimba Stadium, Aba, only Gombe United have reported for the competition.
The News Agency of Nigeria learnt from a stadium official that the Gombe-based club arrived at Aba on Thursday.
Other seven clubs in the tournament had yet to report at the time of filing the report.
The stadium official, Enyinnaya Joseph, said Gombe United reported at the stadium upon their arrival at the commercial city and later moved to their hotel.
Joseph said: “Aside from Gombe United, no other club has reported at the stadium.”
He gave assurance that the management of the stadium was ready to be a good host to the teams during the tournament.
He also said the necessary logistics for a hitch-free tournament had been put in place by the management.
NAN recalls that the request by the Nigerian National League to have the tournament rescheduled from January 3 to January 5 was approved on Monday by the Nigeria Football Federation.
The change in the dates, according to NNL, was to enable the eight teams to arrive at Aba before the kick off date.
The other teams in the Super 8 include Delta Force FC of Ugheli, Real Stars FC of Zamfara , Shooting Stars FC of Ibadan and Bendel Insurance FC of Benin.
Others are Remo Stars FC of Sagamu, Kada FC of Kaduna and Kogi United FC of Lokoja.
