FIFA U-17 WWC qualifiers: Ghana’s encounter with Nigeria postponed indefinitely

Published on: 04 April 2020

Following FIFA’s decision to indefinitely postpone all June assignments, the U-17 Women’s World Cup qualifier between the Black Maidens of Ghana and Nigeria has been rescheduled to a date yet to be decided.

The decision was taken by the World Football governing body in the last 24 hours due to the Coronavirus (Covid-19) which has forced almost every sporting activity to be suspended.

“The FIFA-Confederations working group... has unanimously approved a series of recommendations following its first meeting, which was organized via conference call today,” a FIFA statement said.

In line with the decision, the group also agreed to postpone all planned women's internationals in June. This means that Ghana’s clash against Nigeria in the qualifiers to the India U-17 Women’s World Cup has been postponed indefinitely.

The FIFA statement added, “The FIFA-Confederations working group will continue to hold discussions on a regular basis as the situation evolves,"

Ghana won big in the last stage of the qualifiers where the Maidens demolished Liberia with a 10-0 aggregate scoreline.
