CFCfan: Or even Tahiti

CFCfan: Within the next year, European teams won't be able to play against non-European teams, due to the introduction of the "week of football" concept.
All the available FIFA international breaks will be used for Euro 2016 qualifiers. Therefore, it won't be possible for the SE to play against a European team in a friendly.

But I wish the next home AFCON qualifier would serve as the stadium's opening match.

ujoinme: First event scheduled for Akwa Ibom Stadium complex "2014 edition of Akwa Ibom Christmas Carol Night (20,000 singers) will be happening live at Ibom International Stadium. 2013 edition of the Carol Night (9,999 singers) held at Uyo township stadium on the 21st December 2013." culled from http://ibomstadium.com/event/

Before the above event on the 21st of December 2014 there will be an opening soccer match between the Nigerian Super Eagles and a foreign national team the state governor disclosed this information on the 27th anniversary celebration of the state creation recently. As at press time the governor was still making his mind on the choice of Ghana, South Africa or the Cape Verde National team.

The governor has constituted and Advisory team headed by Mr Paul Bassey of CAF, to Advise The state on the choice of a suitable National team for the grand opening of the Stadium.

IGBOSON1: How comes nobody is talking of the new terminal being constructed anymore? They started long before the ones being built in Enugu, Lagos, Abuja, Kano and Port Harcourt, yet those ones have reached advanced stages!

The last pic of it i saw was from years ago when they were at the foundation level!

akpanakwaibom: @Atuoke seems the tank farm for the airport been constructed by Oando is complete?

kel4soft: Please don't quote me ever in your life. You are a disgrace to wherever you are from.

kel4soft: Why not post recent pictures of the stadium. Atleast the Governor put up something. Are you now from Akwa Ibom? Which has your Bayelsa State Government put up? You guys have renovating Samson Siasia mini stadium for close to 30years now.

BTW, judge the stadium when it is completed.

ujoinme: I personally like the calabar stadium it will remain a fond soccer stadium for Nigeria for years to come because it was once one of the best stadium we had in the country and has served The SE well all this years.
Calabar has a lot going for it: It was the first city where organized football/soccer was played in Nigeria at the Prestigious Hope Waddel Trainning institute which is a few miles from the stadium, and calabar is the undisputed tourism capital of Nigeria, with its serene environment, nice and civilized people and clean environment, calabar is the place to be in Nigeria.

That said, the stadium needs to be revamped/retrofitted. ie its time for a turn around maintenance of Nigerias Hallowed field: The UJ Esuene stadium popularly known as the "Nigerian Slaughter slab".

SE are lucky for they now have alternative Stadiums to play at while the calabar stadium undergoes maintenance. The Abuja stadium, New Akwa ibom Stadium complex and other stadiums around the country that has been upgraded or newly built can serve the SE in the interim.

very nice writeup.

But there will be no place like the UJ esune stadium at the peoples paradise there is no replacement of calabar stadium!
