The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) says the AFCON 2019 Qualifiers date of June 10th won’t be shifted despite a request from South Africa for the tie to be moved forward.
The South Africa Football Association (SAFA) wants the tie to be brought forward to enable them fix a friendly game before their players depart to their respective clubs.
However according to a big wig of the NFF, the request from SAFA is best described as dead on arrival, because the football house has planned its programme for the tie.
