A proposed friendly match between the Super Eagles of Nigeria and Black Stars of Ghana has been scuttled, Ghanasoccernet reports.
Nigeria’s quest to play Ghana next month in London in an international friendly has been scuttled due to a FIFA directive.
According to the online sports portal, a FIFA regulation, which says no country should play two games across two continents in three days has put the friendly in jeopardy.
The Nigeria Football Federation had announced the Super Eagles would play Bolivia on 26 March in Uyo (Africa) and then take on the Black Stars on 29 March in London (Europe).
The Super Eagles were seeking to use the game against their sworn rivals to kick-start their preparations for the 2017 African qualifiers.
FA officials from both countries are yet to confirm or deny this report.
