2023 AFCONQ: CAF Drops Abuja Stadium, Approves Uyo For Super Eagles

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has approved the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo for the Super Eagles next home game in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

The Super Eagles played their two previous home games in the qualifiers against Sierra Leone and Guinea-Bissau at the Moshood Abiola Stadium, Abuja.

The Moshood Abiola Stadium, Abuja was not among the approved stadia listed by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) on Monday.

The Super Eagles next game in the qualifiers is an away clash against the Leone Stars of Sierra Leone on June 18.

The game will be played at a neutral venue as no stadium in Sierra Leone was approved by CAF.

The Super Eagles will host Sao Tome and Principe in their final match of the qualifiers in September.

Jose Peseiro’s side top Group A of the 2023 AFCON qualifiers with nine points and need a point from their next game against Sierra Leone to secure a place in Cote d’Ivoire.
