The Nigeria Football Federation NFF is still awaiting Confederation of African Football, CAF’s resolution on the number of supporter to be allowed in the stands to cheer Super Eagles, during the 2022 World Cup second round qualifying match with the Central African Republic.
Nigeria is targeting a third successive win with the Match-day three game at the Teslim Balogun Stadium and football fans have been eager to be part of Eagles matches.
It would be recalled that due to the existing Covid-19 protocol, capacity of a stadium no longer decides the level of attendance, but CAF decide the number of supporters to allow into any home game.
Super Eagles have played against Lesotho in the AFCON qualifying round and Nigeria’s defeat of Lone Star of Liberia in the opening match of the World Cup qualifying series. On both occasions, supporters allowed into the ground were 10,000 and 5,000.
However, most of the players invited for the encounter with the Central African Republic by Coach Gernot Rohr are expected to start arriving camp from this morning.
