Qatar 2022 Final Battle: Ministry, NFF procure 20,000 tickets for Eagles’ fans

Date:

In a bold move to fill up the stands of the Moshood Abiola Stadium and guarantee high-decibel support for the Super Eagles against the Black Stars of Ghana, the Ministry of Sports and the NFF have jointly purchased 20,000 tickets to give to fans who wish to support the Eagles on the day.

Youth and Sports Development Minister, Hon. Sunday Dare announced this on Sunday evening, after a meeting of the organizing committee put in place by the Ministry and which includes officials of the 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 has done well to secure 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 a 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 scorelessly.
