Week 34 games in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL), will now be played on Wednesday, October 21, because of this weekend’s CHAN qualifying fixture between the home-based Super Eagles and Burkina Faso.
This decision was taken, because some of the league clubs will lose their top players for the game.
“We have just been informed league matches slated for this weekend will now be played on Wednesday because of the CHAN qualifier against Burkina Faso on Sunday,” a top club official told AfricanFootball.com
Nigeria will host the first leg this Sunday in Port Harcourt, before travelling to Ouagadougou for the return leg next week.
The winner over the two legs, will advance to next year’s CHAN in Rwanda. .
