CAF Reschedules Wydad/Enyimba Return Fixture
Following the disruption of the flight schedule of visiting Enyimba FC to Casablanca on Monday, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) has rescheduled the return leg fixture with hosts Wydad Athletic Club of Morocco in the African Football League (AFL).
The return leg match was originally to hold this night in Casablanca but has now been moved to tomorrow which was occasioned by the delay Enyimba experienced in their departure to Morocco.
They had planned to fly to Morocco on Monday aboard a chartered Air Peace plane. But they could not obtain the necessary landing rights until yesterday.
The Nigerian contingents had to spend almost 12 hours at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos because the Moroccan authority didn’t give the go ahead for the take off the flight.
The current domestic league champions were scheduled to arrive in Casablanca on Monday and started preparations immediately in readiness for the second leg but that was aborted due to late arrival and the match shifted to allow the visitors settle ahead of the encounter.
In a related development, another African Football League match also suffered postponement is that of Tunisia’s Esperance Sportive de Tunis and Congo DR’s TP Mazembe. The return leg match in Tunis has been moved from Wednesday to Thursday.
