“The new venue and date of the match will be announced soon after consultation with CAF Interclub Committee.

“Kindly note that the return leg will be played as scheduled on the 5th of December in Nigeria.”

The match was originally scheduled to take place on Sunday, November 28 at Stade Mustapha Ben Jannet in Monastir, Tunisia.

Enyimba had secured Libyan visas, only to be notified few days ago that the game would be played in Tunisia.
