Why NFF changed date for Luxembourg friendly
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has announced the change in date of the Super Eagles friendly against Luxembourg.
A friendly against Luxembourg was initially fixed for Wednesday, June 1, but the NFF has announced that the game will be played on Tuesday, May 31.

“The change in date will not in any way affect our program. The entire contingent will move to Luxembourg from Rouen in France, where we will play Mali on 27th May,” Super Eagles team administrator, Enebi Achor said.
