Chiefs were to host the encounter at the FNB Stadium but it emerged on Thursday afternoon that the Cameroonians are yet to arrive in South Africa a little over 24 hours before kick off.
Gavin Hunt’s charges spent the remainder of the week preparing for what they thought would be a Friday night match until the South African Football Association informed them through competitions official and general manager‚ Mlungisi Ncame‚ about Bamenda’s request for a postponement. “It’s Chiefs' home match and it’s Chiefs who should be dealing with all [media] inquiries about that Bamenda request‚” said Ncame.
Should Caf agree to Chiefs' own conditions‚ the match will be played at the same venue on Saturday with a 6pm kick-off. Apparently Bamenda wanted to play the game on Sunday‚ exactly seven days after the first leg.
