Mohamed Shaiga, president of the Niger champion Sonideb club, sees facing Al-Ahly as a great challenge for his team, indicating that the draw was not kind to his team.
Al-Ahly are preparing to face their host, Sonidep, in the match scheduled for next Wednesday in the first leg of the 32nd CAF Champions League.
During his visit to the Al-Ahly mission, Shiga said: “I am happy with the presence of the Al-Ahly delegation in Niger. The draw was not kind to us to face a team of the size and value of the Al-Ahly club, but at the same time I considered it a great challenge for the Sonideep team. “
He explained: “This is my team’s third appearance in the African Champions League and I am happy that Al-Ahly are facing the biggest team on the continent.”
Shiga stressed that “football is not subject to pen-and-paper calculations, and many times it witnesses resounding surprises, and I hope that this surprise will occur with my team facing Al-Ahly, which is a legitimate dream.”
The president of the Sonidep club cited the clash with Egypt and Niger, during which his country was able to achieve victory despite the history of the Egyptian team and the tournaments that were crowned.
Niger had achieved a huge surprise by beating the Pharaohs with a goal in October 2010 in qualifying for the African Cup of Nations.
Muhammad Shiga spoke about his visit to the Al-Ahly mission at the accommodation hotel in Niamey and said: “There are social relations and human ties away from football, which made me eager to visit Al-Ahly and meet Sayed Abdel Hafeez, director of football and head of mission Al-Ahly, who is an ambassador for all that you stand. The word has the meaning of Al-Ahly Club “.
