The Golden Eaglets of Nigeria will now face off with their Togolese counterparts on Thursday Morning after their game was shifted due to a heavy downpour at University Stadium.

Recall that the WAFU B U-17 Championship Group B encounter was initially scheduled for 5 pm on Wednesday but was postponed due to heavy downpour.

According to Golden Eaglets media officer, Francis Achi, the game will kick off at 9 am Nigerian time.

The other Group B clash between Burkina Faso and Niger Republic has also been shifted to Thursday morning for the same reason.

Both last group B matches  will be played simultaneously with the Nigeria versus Togo game.

The Golden Eaglets need a point from the game against Togo to progress to the semi-final of the competition.
