In a statement on its website, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) said on Wednesday the game, a Match Day 2 clash in the qualifiers’ Group I, will hold in Lagos.
“It will hold at either the Teslim Balogun Stadium in Lagos or the Adokiye Amiesiamaka Stadium in Port Harcourt on Sunday, Sept. 6,’’ it said.
The report quoted NFF President Amaju Pinnick as saying the match had no health concerns.
He said on receiving the request from the Sierra Leone Football Association (SLFA), which is the match’s host association, the NFF approached the Federal Ministry of Health for a go-ahead.
“We are delighted to announce that we have received the go-ahead from the Federal Ministry of Health to host the match,’’ Pinnick said.
The NFF said also that the Sierra Leoneans will come with a delegation of 32, made up of mostly overseas-based players, technical crew and SLFA officials.
