The first round of match will be played on 6 or 7 September 2022.
This season’s final will be played at the Atatürk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul, Turkey.

Chaii…. Osimhen vs Bassey. Osimhen vs Vandijk, Bassey vs Salah. Interesting.
Don’t forget Bassey vs his old team Rangers FC who love him..
Also arguably 2 of Nigerias standout stars along with Ndidi.
BASSEY V OSIMHEN
