By-Adepoju Tobi Samuel Live from Benin Republic

Two times African champions, Enyimba Int'l has arrived the capital city of Benin Republic, Contonu ahead of Sunday's Caf Champions League fixture against Buffles du Borgu.

The team has been in a closed camping in Ota, Ogun state which is just two hours drive to Contonu.

An advanced team led by the club chairman and board member of the Nigeria Football Federation, Felix Anyansi on Friday ensure logistic was perfect, for the players and officials to be lodged at a comfortable hotel.

The advanced team fumes over poor level of logistic and accomodation their host offers them. 

"We are not satisfied with the reception of our host, we treated them like a King when they visited Nigeria. We invested alot of money making them comfortable, it is sad this is what we get from them," Anyansi fumes.

"We are more experience and such act is not enough to distract us, though we expect all teams in this competition to be professional, the rules are clear and it is important all teams respect the rules.

"We saw this coming, reason why the management decided to send an advanced team to make sure accomodation and other logistic are perfect before the full contigent arrive. Despite their antics, we are optimistic of reaching the next round." He said.

The other contigent consisting of players and the technical crew later arrived Contonu 7pm local time, after the advanced team had solved the logistic problems.

The team is lodged at Hotel GL, located at Akpakpa about twenty (20) minutes drive to the stadium. The players will train and have a feel of the pitch on Saturday morning.

Stade de L'amitié  Cotonou will host the game on Sunday at 4pm local time, same time with Nigeria.

The 2014 Federatiin Cup Champions won the first leg 3-0 in Aba.
