Federations Cup: NFF Moves Enyimba, GIWA’s Match To Abeokuta …Dolphins Face Prime In Abuja

The Nigeria Football Fed
eration has announced that the Federation Cup semi-final game between Enyimba FC and Giwa FC has been moved to Abeokuta.
The game which comes up next week Thursday was earlier scheduled to take place at the FIFA Goal Project in Abuja. But the Federation has announced that the fixture has been moved to MKO Abiola Stadium in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.
Although there was a desire to ensure both semi-final matches are played at the same venue for reason of close monitoring and the probability of SuperSport Television broadcasting both games live, officials have now decided to move one of the matches to ensure equal-distance for both competing sides.
“We have now moved the match between Enyimba FC and Giwa FC to Abeokuta. Abuja, the venue picked earlier, is much closer to Jos, home of Giwa FC than it is to Aba, the base of Enyimba FC,” the Head of Federation Cup Ruth David said.
However, four –time champions Dolphins FC and Prime FC will still square off at the FIFA Goal Project, Abuja, also on Thursday. Both matches kick-off at 4pm.
There was also a change in the women’s event, with the match between Sunshine Queens and Nasarawa Amazons now to take place in Lokoja, on Friday. Rivers Angels and Delta Queens retain their FIFA Goal Project, Abuja venue for the same day.
