FIFA cancels Nigeria, Ghana friendly
Fans hoping to watch the Super Eagles take on the Black
Stars of Ghana in a friendly planned for London on
March 29 will have to wait longer as the world football
governing body, FIFA, has cancelled the game as it fails
to comply with the regulations of the world body.
The proposed friendly fell short of the directive by FIFA
which clearly states that no country should play two
games across two continents in three days.
The Eagles are billed to play Bolivia on March 26 in Uyo
(Africa) and then take on the Black Stars who narrowly
missed winning the Africa Cup of Nations in Equatorial
Guinea three days later in London (Europe).
While the Ghana game is now off the window due to
inexplicable negligence of the Nigeria Football
Federation, the Federation is believed to be making
frantic efforts at getting another African country play
the Eagles in order to make the most of the FIFA free
window.
