The international friendly match between Nigeria's Super Eagles and the national team of Luxembourg has been brought forward by 24 hours.
A letter to the NFF by the Football Association of Luxembourg on Friday explained that the match earlier scheduled for June 1 had to be moved forward by a day as a result of a cycling tour in Luxembourg.
“The change in date will not in any way affect our programme. The entire contingent will move to Luxembourg from Rouen in France, where we will play Mali on May 27.
“We will still have three days to train for the match against Luxembourg,” said Eagles’ team administrator, Enebi Achor, to thenff.com.
The match in Luxembourg will take place on Tuesday, May 31 at the Josy Barthel Stadium in that country’s capital city.
Achor also confirmed to thenff.com that a number of technical and administrative officials have now been issued with the Schengen visas enabling them to enter the two countries for the matches.
The NFF has also submitted fresh applications for those who were earlier denied.
The Super Eagles will play Mali’s Les Aiglons in Rouen on May 27 and play Luxembourg in that country on May 31 as part of preparations for the first matches of the 2018 Fifa World Cup qualifying series to be played later this year. (Superspots.com)
