Gombe United FC, one of Nigeria's two representatives in this year's CAF Champions League are unsure of making the trip to Democratic Republic of Congo for their first round, first leg duel, as the club management say the state government is yet to relea-se money for the assignment.
Nigeria Football Association (NFA) spokesman, Ademola Olajire, said that as at Monday, the management of the club could not say exactly what would happen, and travelling documents of the players and officials were still in Gombe.
He said that the NFA moved in and call for the passports to be sent to Abuja for visa processing, but it was still not sure whether the state government would release money for the trip.
Gombe United, in their first ever outing in the continent, are due to face Motema Pembe of DR Congo on Sunday in the competition's curtain raiser for this year.
Enyimba FC, reigning League champions, host Diable Noir of Congo Brazzaville at the Aba Township Stadium on Sunday, in another fixture.
