The Abadoned National Stadium, Lagos by Deejaygold(m): 5:04pm On Dec 23, 2020 |
The Lagos National Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium in Surulere, Lagos State, Nigeria, which comprises an Olympic-size swimming arena and a multipurpose arena used for athletics, rugby, basketball, volleyball, table tennis, wrestling and boxing matches. It was used mostly for football matches until 2004. It hosted several international competitions including the 1980 African Cup of Nations final, the 2000 African Cup of Nations final, and FIFA World Cup qualifying matches. It also served as the main stadium for the 1973 All-Africa Games. When the stadium was built in 1972, it had a capacity of 55,000. The capacity was then reduced to 45,000 in 1999. The record attendance is 85,000 and was taken in the final match of the African Cup of Nations in 1980 between Nigeria and Algeria. For unknown reasons, the National Stadium had been left to dilapidate since the early 2000s. It last hosted a national team game in 2004, with football matches moved to the nearby Teslim Balogun Stadium. It is now occasionally used for religious gatherings and had been taken over by area boys and squatters.[5] In 2009, the National Sports Commission begun a concerted effort to bring the facility back to world class status.

Lack of maintenance culture is one of Nigeria's main problem. Imagine the amount that will be generated from here alone if it were to be in good condition. Not to talk of soo many places that have been abandoned 1 Like |
