Flying Eagles-Sudan game rescheduled over FIFA boss visit

Nigeria’s U-20 team, will not play Sudan in a final U-20 AFCON qualifier on Sunday as originally scheduled, because of the official visit of FIFA president, Gianni Infantino.
The game will now be played on Saturday.

“Infantino will fly directly to Abuja on Sunday and as a result the Flying Eagles qualifier against Sudan in Lagos will now be on Saturday and not Sunday,” an official told AfricanFootball.

The Flying Eagles won the first leg in Khartoum 2-1.

The overall winners of the tie, will qualify for next year’s U-20 AFCON in Zambia.
