Nigeria, Egypt Match To Go Ahead

The Nigeria Football Federation has debunked claims that the match between Nigeria and Egypt will not go on due to failed sponsorship talks. The federation yesterday said nothing has happened to jeopardise the planned international friendly match between the Super Eagles of Nigeria and the Pharaohs of Egypt, billed for Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates on April 12.

NFF General Secretary, Barrister Musa Amadu said that there was no truth to the report in a section of the media that the high-profile international friendly had been called off. “We have an agreement with the organisers of the match in Abu Dhabi on April 12, and nothing has happened to change that. They have not communicated anything to the contrary, and we are in regular contact and we still spoke with them about the match on (Tuesday evening) yesterday”, said Amadu.
