The
Flying Eagles’ friendly match against Ghana U20 initially slated for
today will now hold on Monday at the Ohene Djan Stadium, Accra.
Both teams are preparing for the 2015 African Youth Championship that will take place in Senegal in March.
The
second match initially slated for Wednesday has also been shifted to
Thursday, February 19, and would be played at the Tema Astroturf
Stadium.
A top official of Ghana Football Federation attached to the Nigerian team made comprehensive explanations to that effect.
“Ohene
Djan Stadium will host a Caf Champions League game next weekend and so
the place won’t be available for the second friendly match between the
Satellites and the Flying Eagles.
“Also
some of the matches in Senegal for the Africa Youth Championship will
also be played in stadiums with Astroturf pitches. So it will be good to
play one of the two friendlies on Astroturf pitch to prepare the two
teams for such situations”, the official explained.
The Nigerian team is expected to train at the Accra Sports Stadium today in readiness for Monday’s first friendly match.
