CONTRARY to speculations that the African Nations Cup qualifier between the Super Eagles and Ethiopia scheduled to take place in Lagos next month may be moved, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has debunked the claim.

The NFF had written to the Lagos State Government to host the match,  a request already accepted by the host, which has since put machinery in place towards successful hosting of the match.

Mike Umeh, NFF vice-president said in Lagos that the NFF board picked Lagos and it remains so.

''The board has not discussed such a thing because we all agreed to bring the match to Lagos and we have not said anything to the contrary, so the venue remains Lagos as far as I am concerned,'' Umeh said.
