THE Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), has confirmed that the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier between the Super Eagles and the Bafana Bafana of South Africa, billed for Wednesday at the Akwa Ibom International Stadium, Uyo will now kick off at 6pm, an hour behind the earlier scheduled time.
NFF's head of international department, Bola Oyeyode, disclosed this on Monday adding that: “We got information that the match will now kick off at 6pm, and not 5pm as earlier slated”.
Already, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) has named Mauritanian Rajindraparsad Seechurn as the centre referee for the game. He will be assisted by compatriots, Belkrishna Bootun as assistant referee one, Vivian Vally as assistant referee two and Parmendra Nunkoo as reserve referee, while Ghanaian Laryea
Louis serves as the match commissioner.
Both sides settled for a barren draw during the first meeting in Cape Town, but the reigning African champions are condemned to win this time to be able to defend the title they won last year in South Africa.
Nigeria with goals from Ikechukwu Uche and Aaron Samuel shamed the Red Devils of the Republic of the Congo before their teeming fans in Point Noire, 2-0 to brighten its hope of playing in 2015 AFCON with seven points in the group being led by South Africa with 11 points.
