The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has said it had to play most national teams’ games outside the Abuja National Stadium, due to a lack of facilities there.
Its Secretary-General, Mohammed Sanusi, said that the national stadium currently lacked the necessary facilities for the teams to play conveniently.
However, he said some states had indicated their interest in hosting the national teams .
The women’s national teams have taken refuge at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, Benin, while the Super Eagles have been playing their matches at the Uyo Stadium.
“Some of these states indicated their interest in hosting the teams and that is why we went there. The Abuja National Stadium is under renovation and so there is no facility for us to play our matches here .
“We have our technical centre here, but there are no dressing rooms. So we are making efforts to see if the dressing rooms can be provided,” Sanusi said.
Sanusi added that the football house was planning to take the matches of the teams across the country, so that Nigerians can watch them play live.
