Michael James [owngoalnigeria] quoted the Super Eagles media officer, Toyin Ibitoye who explained that the shift to week days is to give much needed television broadcast, based on the demands of the right owners of the broadcast.
Also the game in Nigeria will be played at 7pm Nigerian time as opposed to the usually 4pm or 5pm that most games involving the Super Eagles are usually played.
