Niger Rugby Fails To Honour Commitment For Second Time

The Ghana Rugby Football Union (GRFU) regrets to announce that the friendly international match between Ghana and Niger, scheduled to have taken place this Sunday at 1pm at the Accra Sports Stadium, has been cancelled again after the Federation Nigerienne de Rugby pulled out of its commitment for the second time at the last minute.

The GRFU further wants to ensure all stakeholders that it has bent backwards, at considerable cost and losses, to make this event come to life in the interest of development of Rugby in Ghana and indeed in the West African Region - and therefore in the interest of Rugby at large.

In the light of this, the U20 men’s 15s and women’s 7s trials have also been postponed and a new date for these very important events will be made known soon.

We would also like to apologise for any inconvenience that this neglect by the Federation Nigerienne de Rugby might have caused any stakeholder.

Announcements on further Rugby matches and events will be made in due course.
