In an official statement by the Tanzania Football Federation (TFF) dated May 6 and signed by general secretary Mwesigwa Selestine, the host federation apologised for rescheduling the fixture by a day “due to reasons beyond our reach.”

The match will kick-off by 4pm local time, which is 2pm Nigerian time.

The match will be played at the 60,000-capacity National Stadium in Dar er Salam.

Tanzania knocked neighbours Kenya out of the first round qualifiers on penalties, after playing out a goalless draw in either legs; while Nigeria were drawn bye.
