Rivers United is representing Nigeria at the CAF Champions League.

The first round tie is expected to take place on Sunday 17th October 2021 at the Adokiye Amaesimaka Stadium, Port Harcourt.
Osho will assist Rivers United Technical Adviser, Stanley Eguma.
The coach is expected to bring his wealth of experience to the team after helping Enyimba to a third-place finish in the 2020/2021 Nigeria Professional Football League NPFL season.
Former Remo Stars coach Osho spent two seasons at Enyimba, guiding the two-time African champions to back-to-back quarter-final appearances in the CAF Confederation Cup.
After leading the People’s Elephant to a third-place finish in the NPFL last season, Osho’s contract was not renewed by Enyimba, who replaced him with former Super Eagles winger Finidi George.
