NFF confirms Super Eagles friendly with Burkina Faso has been called off

 
hehehehe......The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has confirmed that the international friendly between the Super Eagles and Burkina Faso, which was scheduled for Monday in London, has been cancelled.
“We regret to announce that the second friendly match we had scheduled for the Super Eagles as part of
preparations for the remaining matches of the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifying series and the beginning of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualification race would no longer take place on Monday, 27th March 2017,” Chairman of the NFF Technical and Development Committee, Barrister Chris Green said.

“The match in question is called off due to no fault of either the organisers or the Nigeria Football Federation. We will announce further plans for the Super Eagles’ preparation for these two important qualifying campaigns in due course.”
It is understood that the game had to be called off, because some Burkinabe players failed to obtain British visas.
The applications were still pending at the British Embassy in Morocco as at close of work on Friday, the last working day before match day in London.

There are doubts over the Super Eagles’ friendly match with Burkina Faso on Monday in London.
According to CompleteSports, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), are doing all they can to ensure the game takes place.

Some of the Burkina Faso players are yet to secure British visas and on Friday night, there were rumours the friendly has been called off.
However, an NFF official insists the match could still go ahead.
“The FBF (Burkina Faso FA) called the match organiser at 7pm last night to say some of their players could not get UK visas,” he said.
“They had submitted in Morocco, where they played yesterday. Eight of the players have (visas). We are working hard to see that the match goes ahead, one way or the other.

“But things have to crystallize and a clear path is known before we can come out with an official statement.”
