CAF Grants NFF Request to Shift Falconets’ First-Leg Tie to Abeokuta; Nigeria Set to Host Senegal on February 7, With Return Fixture in Thiès on February 14. The move to the MKO Abiola Sports Complex from Lekan Salami Stadium in Ibadan came after CAF approved the Nigeria Football Federation’s appeal over concerns about the playing surface. Nigeria, twice crowned FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup silver medalists progressed to this stage with a 5-0 aggregate win over Rwanda and have since relocated to Abeokuta, where they also notched a 2-1 friendly victory over FC Robo Queens as part of their tune-up for Senegal.
