Nigeria's Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr has stated his desire that he want the team to return to Lagos for its international matches, BSNSports.com.ng can report.

BSN Sports can report that Lagos, the home of Nigeria national teams in the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's until year 2000 when Nigeria and Ghana co-hosted the African Cup of Nations, has not host any Super Eagles competitive matches in the last decades due to the poor condition of the national stadium at Surulere.

The other stadia in Lagos are synthetic pitches which the gaffer believed is not too good for football.

“I also know that Lagos is the home of football in Nigeria and we should be able to play there as well. I hope the Minister can help us by ensuring that we have good pitches to practice and play on, in Lagos" he stated.

The most matches of the team in recent time has been played at the Godswill Akpabio stadium in Uyo
