In a bold move to fill up the stands of the Moshood Abiola
National Stadium and guarantee high-decibel support for the Super Eagles in
Tuesday’s FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 playoff final battle against the Black
Stars of Ghana, the Federal Ministry of Youth and Sports Development and the Nigeria
Football Federation have jointly purchased 20,000 tickets to give to fans who
wish to support the Eagles on the day.
Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Sunday Dare,
announced this after a meeting of the organising committee put in place by the
ministry, including officials of NFF.
“We will buy 20,000 of the tickets and give them to fans at
designated centres on Monday and Tuesday morning. We want to ensure maximum
support for the Super Eagles by filling up the stands.
“The NFF have done well to sccure maximum capacity of the
Moshood Abiola National Stadium for the match. This move will guarantee us a
full house, if you also consider the efforts that the ticket rights holder,
Africa Independent Television have been making on their own,” said Hon. Sunday
Dare.
NFF 2nd Vice President, Mallam Shehu Dikko added that both
the Ministry and the NFF believe that the full house will ginger the Super
Eagles to earn a seventh FIFA World Cup finals ticket on Tuesday evening.
“It is a very big match and we need the maximum support for
our team. The players have expressed a desire for full house, just as the
Ghanaians had in Kumasi. We want to thank the Ministry for initiating this
move.”
Nigeria and Ghana clash at the Moshood Abiola National
Stadium, Abuja on Tuesday evening in what is perhaps the most anticipated and
potentially –explosive encounter in the two countries’ 71-year, 58-match
rivalry, after the opening 90 minutes in Kumasi on Friday ended scoreless.
