CAF Champions League contenders, Enyimba FC, have
appealed to the Nigeria Football Federation to move their Federation Cup Round
of 32 clash against fellow NPFL side El-Kanemi Warriors as a result of their
continental date against Zamalek of Egypt in Port Harcourt on Sunday.
The People’s Elephant, winners of Africa’s most
prestigious club competition in 2003 and 2004, host the White Tribe at the
Adokiye Amiesiamaka Stadium in one of the Day 1 matches of the group stage of
this year’s competition.
“Enyimba has appealed for postponement of the encounter,
and the NFF has granted this plea. They are flying Nigeria’s flag and the NFF
has promised to give them all the support in their quest for glory,” Emmanuel
Adesanya, Head of Federation Cup, told thenff.com.
However, the remaining 15 matches of the men’s
competition and eight matches of the women’s competition will take placeon
Wednesday and Thursday, with Abuja, Makurdi, Enugu and Lokoja hosting three
matches each.
The encounter between Plateau United and Dreams FC of
Makurdi, earlier slated for Damaturu, has been moved to Abuja, while the Crown
FC/Niger Tornadoes clash will now take place in Benin City instead of Akure.
With the Enyimba/El-Kanemi tie postponed, the match
between FC IfeanyiUbah and Lobi Stars at UJ Esuene Stadium, Calabar is the only
all-NPFL game this week.
Eleven matches of the men’s competition and three matches
of the women’s competition will take place on Wednesday, with high –riding
Rivers United up against Kaduna United in Makurdi, Enugu Rangers against ABS FC
in Bauchi, Shooting Stars testing Almar FC in Agege (Lagos), Kano Pillars up
against Prime FC in Lokoja.
The women’s competition is in the Round of 16, and Cup
holders Sunshine Queens battle Osun Babes in Ibadan, Delta Queens take on Ibom
Angels at the Dan Anyiam Stadium, Owerri and Katsina Queens tackle Gift of Life
FC in Abuja
