Interclub Competition: CAF To Inspect Four Stadia In Nigeria Next Week 

By Admin

Confederation African Football (CAF) will send his team to inspect four different stadiums of the teams representing Nigeria in the 2024/25 CAF Champions League and Confederation Cup next week.

The President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Ibrahim Gusau, confirmed this on Tuesday during the Annual General Meeting of the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL), when he disclosed that no stadium has been ruled out yet by CAF.

“It is not true that CAF only approved the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium for all our clubs playing on the continent next season. The CAF team will be in Nigeria next week to inspect all the four stadia registered by our four clubs. It is only after the inspection that we will know which stadium qualifies to host or not,” Gusau told CompleteSports.com

“CAF only barred all stadia in Nigeria, except for the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo, from hosting national team matches because they are yet to meet its standards. Most African countries also failed to meet the standard, as some will play in other countries rather than their home countries.”

Nigeria will be represented in the CAF Champions League by league winners Rangers International of Enugu and Remo Stars of Ikenne, while the duo of El-Kanemi Warriors of Maiduguri and Enyimba International of Aba will fly Nigeria’s flag in the Confederation Cup.
