NFF Keeps Super Eagles in Uyo as Lagos Move Awaits CAF Approval

The Nigeria Football Federation says the Super Eagles are unlikely to move their home matches from Uyo to Lagos before the upcoming 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. The federation is considering the renovated Teslim Balogun Stadium, but any move will depend on CAF approval, completion of renovation work and an inspection of the facilities. The NFF also plans to consult players and may stage friendly matches in Lagos before taking a competitive fixture there. For now, Uyo remains the preferred venue as the Super Eagles prepare for their next qualifiers. The technical crew has begun monitoring players, while the final squad and arrival plans will depend on CAF's confirmation of the match dates.
