The Organising and Disciplinary committee of the NFF ordered that the match be played today (Friday) at FIFA goal project football field package B’ National Stadium Abuja by 12 noon.
The O and D of the NFF had on Oct.10 announced its verdict on the appeal made by Risings Stars against the decision that the match be replayed because there was no prematch meeting in the original match played at the Aper Aku Stadium on Sept. 8.
