Where is adokiye amesiemaka

So the poor Congo get better stadium pass our darling Nigeria..

Wonders

Even congo make the list hmm there was a country indeed

nice...apart from south Africa and congo the list contains the north Africans simply because of thier real passion and love for the game and thats why they the most successful region in football when it comes to African competition..
south Africa is jus there mayb because of the worldcup they hosted and thier passion for football lead to nice management and maintenance of the nice structures..
am not surprised that my country isnt on the list because stadiums are built here mainly for political reasons or to be used as event centers or as campaign grounds..
if a governor sees a bigger and better structure to be used for campaign ground, the next plan is to leave the stadium in that state to suffer and push the blame to minister of sport..
