Aisha Buhari Cup: Start date moved forward by two days
The start date for the maiden edition of Aisha Buhari Cup has been moved forward by two days, the Local Organizing Committee (LOC)has announced.
The competition was initially scheduled to start on Monday, September 13 but will now commence on Wednesday, September 15 till Tuesday, September 21, 2021.
The LOC said the slight shift of start date is necessitated by two key factors, an expressed request by the participating teams that their foreign-based players will not be able to arrive in Lagos for the games any time earlier than Tuesday, September 14.
Second is Fifa’s type 1 window stipulation that teams shall play two matches each with two full rest days between each match to possibly allow for players’ recovery in case of injury.
6 nations, in 2 groups of 3 teams, will battle for honours in the maiden Aisha Buhari Cup.
