The University of Benin Sports Complex will now host the Nigeria National League B1 week 17 match between Bendel Insurance FC and Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC) earlier postponed on Sunday.
The match was scheduled to hold during the week but was postponed due to the official complaints by the Oluyole Warriors on Monday night over food poisoning involving their players after their supper in the camp.
The new date for the NNL B1 game in Benin City was contained in a circular dated 1st November and signed by Lawrence Katken on behalf of NNL board.
Katken stated the NNL authorities “will not hesitate to clamp down on violators of the league framework as it appeal to all clubs to properly enlighten their officials and supporters of the need to respect the rules of the competition.”
He stated that the new date, November 4 was announced by the league organisers following confirmation that the 3SC players have recovered from the food poisoning saga and are ready to honour the match.
