Nigeria to face Mali on Thursday as WAFU adjusts fixtures

The West African Football Union has adjusted the fixtures of the 2017 WAFU Cup of Nations.

As a result of the adjustment, the Super Eagles will now play Mali’s Aiglons on Thursday at the Cape Coast Stadium, no longer the Black Stars of Ghana.

Guinea’s Syli Nationale will play the Black Stars in Thursday’s second game, also at the same stadium.

On Saturday, the Super Eagles will tackle Guinea before Ghana and Mali will do battle later in the day.

The much-anticipated clash between heavyweight rivals Ghana and Nigeria will come up on Monday, September 18.

The second match of the day, between Mali and Guinea, will take place simultaneously at Ndoum Stadium.
