Media officer of the Super EaglesToyin Ibitoye has revealed that the games were fixed on weekdays for television purposes.

The first leg will kick off at 7 pm Nigerian time in Uyo which the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) have stuck to as the home of the Super Eagles.

The NFF have however reiterated that the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium will remain the home of the Super Eagles.
