Cape Verde will host the the Super Eagles of Nigeria in their second Group C 2022 World Cup qualifier without the home fans due to the Coronavirus.
According to Noticia do Norte, a publication in Cape Verde, the country’s FA received a communication from CAF, stating that they would have to face the Eagles without fans.
Cape Verde is one of the West African countries badly affected by Covid-19.
And in adherence to FIFA’s Covid-19 protocols, fans will not be allowed into the Stadium.
Cape Verde will hope to record their first win of the qualifiers after holding Central African Republic to a 1-1 draw in their first game.
On their part, the Eagles kicked off with a 2-0 win against Liberia at the Teslim Balogun Stadium on Friday.
A first half brace from Kelechi Iheanacho secured the win for the three-time African champions.
This is the first time the Eagles will take on Cape Verde in a competitive game.
