With the first leg between both countries having been confirmed by Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) for Ahmadu Bello Stadium, Kaduna, the host state has now proposed that the best way of having a large crowd turn out is to hold the match on a Friday.
Libya lead the way in Group E of the AFCON qualifying series with four points from their opening two games, same as South Africa, while Nigeria are third with three points from the same number of matches.
