Nigeria’s Super Eagles
will play at the Karkanda Stadium in Katsina in what will be the first game at
the new edifice.
The Eagles, entirely
made up of home based players, will on Tuesday, play a commemorative match to
open the brand new stadium in Katsina, the Katsina State capital.
The new Karkanda
Stadium in Katsina, which will be declared open on that day, has a capacity of
35,000 and an artificial playing turf, and was only recently completed by the
Katsina State Government under the administration of Governor Ibrahim Shema.
A Katsina-selected
side would face the Super Eagles in the ceremonial encounter scheduled to
kickoff at 5pm in what is expected to be a very colourful and epoch making
event.
The Super Eagles,
currently camped in Abuja for preparations ahead of the June 13 Africa Cup of
Nations qualifiers against Chad in Kaduna, will leave for Katsina on Sunday
through Kano, and have a feel of the new pitch on Monday before playing the
friendly on Tuesday.
They are expected back
in Abuja on Wednesday to continue preparation for the clash against Le Sao of
Chad at the Ahmadu Bello Stadium in Kaduna, confirms NFF.
