The Confederation of African Football , yesterday, announced that the African Football League quarterfinal second leg game between Wydad Casablanca of Morocco and Nigeria’s Enyimba will be played tomorrow, instead of today, as earlier advertised.
The team had boarded their plane on Monday evening at Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, for the trip, but they could not fly out as they awaited landing permit from Moroccan authorities. Following Enyimba’s complaints to CAF yesterday, the body after investigations, elected to move the game by 24 hours. The game will now hold tomorrow in Casablanca by 7.00 p.m.
One of the fans said: “Enyimba playing a continental match with name and jersey number handwritten on their shirt is surprising given that they received N100 million after winning the NPFL title earlier this year. The money should have eased any potential financial difficulties the club might have faced. The governor should wade in as quickly as possible.”
