After just one year in suspension from fielding four club sides in the Confederation of         Africa Football (CAF), Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) and League Management Company (LMC) have worked hard to restore parity with top African nations and leagues.

For this reason, four Nigerian clubs namely Enyimba International FC, Kano Pillars, Enugu Rangers and Niger Tornadoes will compete in the 2019/2020 CAF Champions League and CAF Confederation Cups respectively.

While Enyimba and Kano Pillars will play in the CAF elite club competition, Rangers and Tornadoes will take part in the lower competition. Below are the parings for the preliminary stages.
