On Saturday (today), Rivers United and Heartland will play a friendly preseason match.
The goal of the exhibition game is to advance both teams’ 2023–24 Nigeria Professional Football League season preparations.
The game is scheduled to take place in Port Harcourt’s Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium.
The match will also help Rivers United prepare for their CAF Confederation Cup match against Burkinabe team Etoile Filante.
Last year, Rivers United had the third-best NPFL record.
On the other hand, Heartland, who won the Nigeria National League championship last year, are now back in the top division.
