Nigeria’s Super Eagles manager, Gernot Rohr has accused the African football governing CAF of not being considerate with the schedule for the match between Nigeria and Benin Republic in the first match of the 2021 African Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier.
The match between the Super Eagles and Benin was earlier scheduled for November 13, 2019, two days after the international window opens.
The Franco-German tactician said the football governing has no respect for the country, urged them to postpone the date, so as to give the team the opportunity to assemble and prepare better.

While addressing the media on Saturday, he said, Our game against Benin is on November 13th, which is a Wednesday. The FIFA window opens on Monday. When will our players arrive and prepare for this game? It’s ridiculous. We need to be respected and I have spoken to CAF’s Anthony Baffoe about it.
“I have also spoken to Michel Dussuyer, the Benin coach, as well. We need this date to be changed, so that the teams can arrive and train properly, for this game. Match scheduling must be done properly.”
