The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has requested for a reschedulement of Nigeria’s World Cup qualifiers coming up in June.
While making these request to FIFA,
the NFF stated that it wants the game in Nigeria’s group to be staged
the same day for the sake of fairness.According to the NFF General Secretary; Musa Adamu, Malawi will have a better advantage over Nigeria if the request was not made by the NFF as Nigeria would have been engaged in crucial engagement as well as that of Malawi, so requesting for a reschedule is a right path.
“We make this request in the interest of fairness, as at the moment, Nigeria and Malawi have same number of points (five) and for Nigeria to play two days before Malawi in each of the two important qualifying games in June will give undue advantage to the Malawians,”.
