The Nigeria Football
Federation (NFF) has
announced a new the
date for semifinals of
the 2012 Federation
Cup.
August 15 had been
scheduled as the date
for the semifinal
matches but the NFF
has now opted for
August 22 as the new
date for the
competition.
First vice president of
the NFF, Mike Umeh
explained that the
move was informed by
the desire to avoid a
clash in dates for the
semis and Nigeria's
international friendly
match with Niger
Republic which holds on
August 15.
"We (the NFF) had a
meeting (on
Wednesday) and
decided that it was
best we move the date
for the Federation Cup
to August 22 because
we don't want a clash
of dates as regards the
Super Eagles' match and
the Federation Cup
semifinals," Umeh told
SuperSport.com.
Lobi Stars will face Kano
Pillars, in the first
semifinal in Calabar
while Heartland and
Prime FC will square off
in the second in Ilorin.
