Eagles’ games moved to Sunday

Starting from the 2010 World Cup qualifier against Kenya in June, the Super Eagles will now play all their home qualifying matches on Sundays rather than Saturdays.
"It is a proposal based on the fact that the stadium was filled for our World Cup qualifier against South Africa, which was played on Sunday, as against the previous ones played on Saturdays," NFF Media Officer Ademola Olajire said,  According to him, coach Shuaibu Amodu has been consulted and is agreeable.

Subsequently, the NFF have informed FIFA of the proposed change.

"FIFA have given us until March to reconfirm, and that is the situation at the moment,"
