Why the Akwa United vs Heartland NPFL match has been rescheduled from Sunday Dec. 22 to Mon. 23rd
The Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) has announced the rescheduling of the Matchday 18 clash between Akwa United and Heartland FC. The match, originally set for Sunday, December 22, will now take place on Monday, December 23, at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo.
The change comes due to the venue hosting the Jehovah’s Witnesses regional conference from December 20-22, which has led to a scheduling conflict. The NPFL confirmed that the switch in dates was necessary to accommodate the event.
Both Akwa United and Heartland FC are facing challenging seasons and will be eager to secure crucial points as they battle against relegation. The rescheduled match will be an important fixture as the league reaches its halfway point.
This change follows a similar rearrangement of the fixture between Enyimba and Nasarawa United, which was moved due to logistical issues by Enyimba FC.
Fans can now look forward to the Akwa United vs Heartland FC match on Monday, December 23, as both teams continue their fight for survival in the league.
