A statement released by Hertfordshire police read:
“The planned friendly between Nigeria and Ghana at
Watford FC tonight (August 9) has been cancelled as a
precaution due to potential demands on Hertfordshire
Constabulary as a result of what is happening in
London.
“The decision was not taken lightly and was done in
full consultation with the club. We hope those fans who
had been due to attend the game will understand the
reasons why. Any fans who had been planning to
travel are being asked not to come to Watford.
“In relation to tickets, please visit the Watford FC
website where details will be announced in due
course.”
It is not yet known if the game between the Super
Eagles and the Black Stars will be scheduled for a later
date, as has already been suggested for the England v
Netherlands match.
