Pepsi, the official sponsor of all Confederation of African Football (CAF) tournaments, is putting its weight behind Enyimba Football Club of Aba to win this year’s trophy with the institution of a N200,000 prize money for the Most Valuable Player (MVP) in every home match of the Aba Elephants.

Pepsi’s package will be a motivation for the players who would have to replicate the success of Enyimba F.C on the continent with back-to-back wins of the CAF Champions League in 2003 and 2004.
