Niger Tornadoes travel to Kano on Saturday, 10 October, to meet Ranchers Bees in Matchday 8 of the 2026/27 NPFL season. Kick-off is 4:00 PM at Sani Abacha Stadium, the ground Ranchers Bees are using as their home venue for now.
The Ikon Allah Boys arrive with confidence after Ismail Sarki's late winner secured a 1–0 home victory over Kun Khalifat. The result gives Kabiru Dogo's side a chance to build momentum on the road.
Ranchers Bees will have the familiarity of their temporary Kano base and the backing of their home support. Tornadoes will need to stay compact, compete for second balls and make their moments count against a side looking to use home advantage.
The venue schedule brings an adjustment: Barau are due to play at Sani Abacha Stadium on Sunday, so Ranchers Bees host Tornadoes on Saturday instead. Supporters should plan for a 4:00 PM start.
