CAF Approval Causes Another Delay for Nigeria vs Cameroon Women’s Football Clash
The much-talked-about friendly match between Nigeria’s Super Falcons and the Indomitable Lionesses of Cameroon has been postponed again. The new date for the game is now Tuesday, after several changes and delays.
The match was first planned as a two-legged encounter. The first leg was supposed to take place on Friday at the Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne, while the second leg was to follow soon after.
But things did not go as planned. The Cameroonian team arrived late in Nigeria, which made it impossible to play the first match as scheduled.
Because of this, both teams agreed to play just one friendly match instead of two. They then moved the match to Monday at the Moshood Abiola Sports Arena in Abeokuta. Everyone was hopeful that the game would finally take place.
However, there was another setback. The Confederation of African Football (CAF) did not give approval for the match to be played on Monday. This forced the organisers to push the match forward once again. Now, the match will be played on Tuesday.
A source from the Nigerian Football Federation said
, “We have done everything possible to make sure the match holds. But we must follow CAF’s rules and wait for their approval. The new date is Tuesday, and we hope there will be no more changes.“
Many fans are disappointed by the constant postponements. One Super Falcons supporter said,
“We have been waiting to watch our girls play against Cameroon. We just hope this new date will not change again.“
The friendly match is important for both teams as they prepare for upcoming international competitions. The Super Falcons and the Indomitable Lionesses are two of the strongest women’s football teams in Africa.
As it stands, all eyes are now on Tuesday. Football lovers across Nigeria and Cameroon are hoping that the match will finally take place without any more delays. Organisers have assured fans that they are working hard to make sure everything goes smoothly.
In summary, the Super Falcons vs Cameroon friendly match has faced several postponements due to late arrival of the Cameroonian team and CAF approval issues. The new date is now Tuesday, and everyone is hoping this will be the final schedule.
As one official put it, “We are ready, the teams are ready, and the fans are ready. We just want to play football.“
