The Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium cost N24 billion (about $126.3 million) while the cost of constructing the entire complex is put at N31 billion (about $163.1 million).

Dream Team chief coach, Samson Siasia, is satisfied with the quality of the playing surface at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium, Port Harcourt.
The stadium is set to play host to Sunday’s 2016 Olympic football qualifier between Nigeria and Congo and Siasia was left impressed after his team trained at the facility for the first time on Monday.

This is the first time I am seeing the pitch because we had been training at the Shell Club (also in Port Harcourt) since we arrived from Abuja.
“I am very impressed with how well the stadium has been maintained and especially the pitch which is very very good,” Siasia said on Monday.
Spokesman of the team, Timi Ebikagboro, also shared in the coach’s optimism.
“I have visited virtually all stadia in Nigeria and I make bold to say that apart from the pitch at Akwa Ibom International Stadium in Uyo, none is as good as this.
“Good pitches produce good football and I am sure we will get a good result on Sunday,” he said.
Nigeria’s U 23s will face their Congolese counterparts at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium on July 19.

The Rivers State Government has graciously made these plans to see that we have a full stadium on Sunday,

Iyaye said.

Players and officials of the Dream Team have been training with verve and vigour in Port Harcourt for over a week as they look to put Congo to the sword.

Siasia says his charges are set for the kill.
