The Nigeria Football Federation have confirmed that the second leg of the CHAN qualifiers against Burkina Faso will be played on Sunday, as against Saturday which was the original day for the game.
The Nigerian FA also revealed that it has brought the case to the Confederation of African Football, after Federation Burkinabe de
Foot-Ball, Burkina Faso’s football governing body, moved the 2016 African Nations Championship (CHAN) final qualifying match just five days before the said game.
The NFF said that it'll alter the plans they already put in place, including flight plans and other logistics.
“We have complained to CAF about this change in date that came only five days to the match, as against a minimum of 10 days enshrined in the regulations.
“It means we will now have to alter all our arrangements to play the match on Sunday,” NFF General Secretary, Dr. Mohammed Sanusi, said on Tuesday.
The new date means the Super Eagles will now travel to Ouagadougou on Friday evening, have the official training in the evening of Saturday and play the Etalons at the August 4 Stadium on Sunday. They are scheduled to depart Ouagadougou immediately after the match.
Nigeria have a 2-0 advantage in the CHAN fixture, with goals from Yaro Bature and Gbolahan Salami in the first leg in Port Harcourt on Saturday. NFF
