In an interview with Pointsports, the secretary general of NISA, Saihou B Jarju, said initially the dateline was scheduled for February 5th but now the date has been changed to February 23rd. The reason for the change of date for registration is to allow companies to pay their registration fees.

He stated that some companies have already paid their registration fees.

He pointed out that the tournament proper will kick-off during the first week of March.
