This was revealed after match organizers JV2i Consult met the media in Accra on Monday to allay all fears and also to make public the arrangements put in place to ensure a successful game.
“We are here to interact with the FA and also to meet the Ghanaian media to let them know what the future plan for the game is like,” JV2i CEO, Justin Addo told .
“Basically the match has been rescheduled for October 11 and tickets for the initial game are still valid and the media who want accreditation have to apply though the Ghana FA or Nigeria FA as per the previous game.”
Though very confident the game would be held successfully, Addo is also wary of the unpredictable nature of the riots in UK which scuppered the original game.
“Only God can tell whether there are any other unforeseen developments but hopefully this game would come off without incident.”
The match organizer also confirmed reports of the massive loss of investment following the botched friendly but says he has taken it in his stride.
“Well, after paying for advertising and publicity when the game does not come off you obviously lose a lot of money but the fact that you had an accident doesn;t mean you should never seat in a car again.
“At the end of the day I’d prefer to lose money like this than rather let the match go ahead for people to have got injured and all other repercussions so at the end of the day it was the right decision,” he added.
