Sporting Lagos have announced a revised date for their Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Matchday 12 meeting with Rivers United after the original fixture was postponed.

The encounter, which was initially scheduled to take place on Sunday, November 8, will now be played on Wednesday, November 18. Sporting Lagos confirmed the change through an official statement shared on the club’s communication platforms.

The rescheduled match will be held at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena in Onikan, Lagos, where both sides will battle for points in the league competition.

The fixture was called off because the venue was unavailable on the originally scheduled date. The new arrangement means supporters of both clubs will have to wait until November 18 to see the teams face each other.

Sporting Lagos head into the rearranged encounter sitting 11th in the NPFL standings. The Lagos-based side have collected 15 points from 11 matches and will be looking to improve their position when they take on Rivers United.
