The Nigeria Football Federation have postponed the Federation Cup game between Rivers United and Enyimba to a later date.
The round of 64 game was initially scheduled to take place on Wednesday at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium.
The postponement is as a result of Rivers United’s participation in the CAF Confederation Cup quarter-final with a trip to Tanzania for their return fixture against Youngs Africans on Sunday.
The Pride of Rivers bowed to a 2-0 loss in Uyo on Sunday and they face an uphill task to overturn the deficit and keep their dreams of a first continental title alive.
On Tuesday, coach Stanley Eguma lamented the hectic schedule his team faces and he hinted they could abandon the Federation Cup match against Enyimba if it’s rescheduled.
Eguma said: “Going to Tanzania will be a suicide mission if we have to play on Wednesday and weekend in Tanzania with the kind of fatigue we have. It is not going to be possible except we will have to abandon the Wednesday game.”
Rivers are third in Group B of the NPFL table with two games at hand and two points below leaders Lobi Stars while Enyimba are also third in Group A.
