The development comes after Nigeria were crowned champions of the African Cup of Nations and will represent the continent in Brazil during the Confederations Cup.
“The World Football Governing Body FIFA has communicated to Football Kenya Federation on the possibility of changing the dates for the Kenya, Nigeria Brazil World Cup qualifier.”
“This has arisen due to Nigeria’s qualification to represent Africa in the FIFA confederations Cup to be played in Brazil from 15th to 23rd June 2013. The World Cup organising committee has therefore requested Kenya to reschedule the return leg at least two days before the 10th of June that means the match be played on 6th or 7th of June,” the statement read.
FIFA is expected to hold an executive meeting on March 19th to decide on the exact dates.
FKF have also revealed that they will hire a new coach before they face Super Eagles but were keen to state that he will not be high profile like the predecessor as the team is expected to pitch camp in two week’s time.
“We are not going for a high profile coach this time round and the three have a good track record for working with African teams.”
