MADAGAS-CAR Football Federation has accused the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) of not been fair by not communicating the new date and venue of today's 2012 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against the Super Eagles to them.

The game earlier scheduled to take place in Abuja was shifted to the UJ Esuene Stadium, Calabar due to the U-23 ECOWAS Games billed to start also today at the National stadium, Abuja.

Madagascar FA had arranged a chartered flight that would airlift its players and technical crew to Abuja with a likely stop over at the Murtala Mohammed International airport, Lagos but to their dismay, the international media carried reports of a change in date to Sunday and the new venue (Calabar), which the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) failed to communicate to them.

NFF in its reaction however, claimed that the allegation of the Barea of Madagascar was not true in the sense that a memo regarding the matter was sent to them last Tuesday.

“Well, I don’t know of such reports, the NFF had on Tuesday sent a memo informing them of the new date and Calabar as new venue,” NFF's media officer, Robinson Okosun said.http://www.tribune.com.ng/sun/index.php/sports/2023-youre-unfair-to-us--madagascar-slams-nff
