The match between Nigeria’s Golden Eaglets final Group B game against Togo at the ongoing WAFU B U-17 Championship has been postponed to Thursday after a heavy rain.
The match was originally fixed for Wednesday (today) at 5pm.
The team’s media officer, Francis Achi, said the postponement was as a result of a heavy down pour which made the university stadium in Accra, Ghana to be in an unplayable state for the match.
Achi said that the game will be played at the same ground by 9am Nigeria time.

In the same vein the other Group B game between Burkina Faso and Niger has also been postponed for same reason.
The match will also be played on Thursday morning simultaneously with the Eaglets match.
Recall that Rapha Adams the Eaglets’ striker, Rapha Adams, who scored the winning goal against Junior Mena of Niger, assured Nigerians that the team will work very hard to beat Togo in their encounter.
