By Oyediji Oluwaseun Babatunde

Nigeria representative Remo Stars has arrived in Rabat, Morocco, the venue of their CAF Champions League first Preliminary Round return leg clash with AS FAR FC.

The team left Nigeria and arrived in Casablanca this weekend before reaching their destination in Rabat.

The first leg of the tie ended 2-1 in favor of the Sky Blue Stars thanks to goals from captain Nduka Junior and Sodiq Ismail.

The return leg is scheduled for the Molal Al-Hassan Stadium, Rabat, kicking off by 9:00 pm (Nigeria time).

The last Remo Stars visited Morocco two seasons ago, they played out a 1-1 draw.

A similar result or any form of the draw will seal a place in the second preliminary round of the CAF Champions League, which will be the first time the team will progress from the first hurdle.

Previously, AS FAR FC (CAF Confederation Cup) and Medema from Ghana (CAF Champions League) stopped the Ikenne-Remo-based side from progressing in the last two seasons.
