Confederation of African Football (CAF) has approved Nigeria’s request to have the Moshood Abiola Stadium in Abuja in full capacity when the Super Eagles host the Black Stars on Tuesday.
Following the over-packed Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi on Friday, Nigeria approached CAF for approval to have a full capacity.
The national stadium has a 60,000 capacity and has hosted World Cup qualifiers in the past.
CAF had initially granted just half of the capacity for the game but with Ghanaians trooping out to support the Black Stars in Kumasi and the stadium filled to the rafters, it was appropriate to let Nigeria enjoy the same support at home.
The office of the Minister of Sports has also revealed that 100 buses will be released to transport fans to the game.
According to Kola Daniel, the Spokesman to the minister, there will be buses in various areas of the metropolis and enjoined everyone interested to locate any place convenient to them.
The locations are Dutse, Suleja, Kubwa, Nyanya, among others.
The Super Eagles will host the Black Stars in the second leg of a doubleheader World Cup Qualifier fixture on Tuesday, 29th March 2022 in a match that will decide who will book a place in Qatar later in the year.
