WC 2018 qualifiers: Nigeria v Cameroon August 31
World’s football governing body, Fifa, has finalized the dates for Cameroon’s double clash with the Super Eagles of Nigeria on the heels of the 2018 World Cup qualifiers.
There was pressure from the Nigeria end to play the two games between 1 and 4 September, which didn’t look possible, but the football governing body has resolved that.
Nigeria currently lead Group B with six points from two games while Cameroon are in second place, four points behind the Super Eagles while Zambia and Algeria make up the tail.
Fifa has brought back the dates to 31 August for the first game in Uyo with the reverse leg taking place on 4 September in Yaoundé.
As also stated on the official Fifa website, the game in Uyo is billed to kick off at 7 pm local time at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium.
A win for Coach Gernot Rhor will see the Super Eagles take a giant step towards qualification for the 2018 Fifa World Cup to be held in Russia.
The indomitable lions coached by Hugo Broos will have to work hard if they must return to Russia. They recorded a dismal performance at the 2017 Confederations Cup, exiting with just a point following a 1-1 draw with Australia in the group stages.
