Ghana have been invited to play African champions Nigeria to play an international friendly on Friday 7 November 2014 to officially open the ultra-modern Akwa Ibom International Stadium.

But both countries will be unable to field their high-profile stars and home-based players will dominate the exhibition match in Uyo.

Nigeria President Goodluck Jonathan is scheduled to be in attendance and top football icons, including the legendary Brazilian Pele, have also been invited to grace the opening of the stadium.

The newly built 30,000 capacity will host the Super Eagles 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against the Bafana Bafana of South Africa on 19 November.


The edifice was built to bear similarities with Bayern Munich’s Allianz Arena, the Bird Nest Stadium in Beijing China, and the FNB Stadium in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Pele to storm Nigeria for Uyo Stadium opening

Report reaching Deluxegist.com indicates that Brazilian football legend, Pele will storm Nigeria for the grand opening of the Uyo Stadium scheduled to hold in the first week of November.

Pele will be among the guests of honour at the event with President Goodluck Jonathan scheduled to declare the stadium open.

The Uyo Stadium is an all covered 30,000 capacity arena built by the Akwa Ibom government. The structure is reputed to be the first of its kind constructed by any state government in the country and some say it ranks as one of the best stadia in Africa.

The Stadium has also been chosen by the NFF as the venue for the Super Eagles final home game of the team’s 2015 African Cup of Nations qualifiers against South Africa billed to take place on the 19th of November
