Nigeria to host Confed Cup final, Orlando Pirates stay in the hunt

Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo, Nigeria will host the 2021/22 Confederation Cup final, CAF announced on Wednesday.

The winner-take-all game will be played on 20 May.

Orlando Pirates continue to make good progress in the competition and a second-leg semi-final clash with Al Ahly Tripoli is what stands in the way of them and a shot at the final (the Buccaneers have a 2-0 advantage before the rematch on Sunday).

TP Mazembe and RS Berkane are the other teams in a tussle. TP Mazembe will travel to Morocco with a 1-0 goal advantage over Sunday's hosts.

According to CAF, it will be the first intercontinental major cup final to be hosted at Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo.

Details on kick-off time will be confirmed closer to the time.
