The Nigeria Football Federation's General Secretary, Dr. Mohammed Sanusi, has confirmed that Nigeria's Super Eagles will play their next African Nations Cup qualifiers against Egypt at the Ahmadu Bello Stadium, Kaduna on Friday, March 25.
This followed a communique the NFF received from the Confederation of African Football
recommending that Nigeria should endeavor to make room for “a minimum of two full days of rest between the two matches.”
Although CAF had given Nigeria the latitude to pick any day between 23rd – 26th March for the Day 3 clash, and handed Egypt the option of picking any day from 26th – 29th for the Day 4 encounter, the continental body appealed to the NFF to pick a new date that would ensure two full days of rest ahead of the second match.
NFF General Secretary, Dr. Mohammed Sanusi said on Thursday: “We have now moved the match forward by 24 hours, so we will play on Friday, March 25 and Saturday, March 26 will serve as the day for the two teams to travel, while March 27 and 28 will be rest days before the return leg on Tuesday, March 29.”
