"Water FC Light Stadium Abuja will be ready for use in June next year, with this and other available facilities we have moved a step toward providing the best player not only in Africa but the world. Soon, top European clubs will start visiting Nigeria, hence our boys wills start playing for the best teams in Europe again."
