ABUJA NATIONAL STADIUM COMING BACK TO LIFE!

[Oguleftie]

It is all about stealing of public money.

Multiple embezzlement.

Time after time after time.

I pray it can be maintained, the Stadium sadly has turned into a white elephant, grossly underutillized.

I might be wrong, but I’ve never seen that Abuja stadium at even near-capacity.

It was at full capacity for the 2003 All African Games gold medal match between Nigeria and Cameroon. Also it was at full capacity for Nigeria's 2010 world cup qualifying matches against Kenya and Tunisia. Both matches were played on Sunday and Buses were provided for fans to come from all over the country. The football supporters club was actively involved in the planning for both matches.

Damunk,

That would have changed by now, though. I had attended several SE games there during a year that I was fully resident in Nigeria. It was not full then but that was almost a decade ago when transportation to the stadium was a piss. That should not be the case now. Moreover, the population growth there would have been almost in double digits. All those indices should make a difference now for a big game.
