Nigeria vs South Africa kick-off moved
Officials have confirmed that Wednesday’s AFCON 2015 showdown between Nigeria and South Africa will now kick off at 6pm, an hour behind the time earlier scheduled.
“We got information that the match will now kick off at 6pm, and not 5pm as earlier slated,” NFF head of international department, Bola Oyeyode, said on Monday.
A win inside the Akwa Ibom International Stadium in Uyo will book Nigeria a ticket to next year’s Africa Cup of Nations to be hosted by Equatorial Guinea.
The match coordination meeting will take place from 7pm on Tuesday at the Hotel L’Meridien, to be coordinated by match commissioner, Ghanaian Laryea Louis.
Also, the itinerary of the South African contingent changed, with officials confirming the team would travel direct by chartered flight from Johannesburg to Uyo. They will arrive at 8pm Nigerian time.
FIFA/CAF match commissioner, Paul Bassey, has already informed the Akwa Ibom State Government of the need for a landing permit for the South African delegation.

Kick off was 6 not 5
