The Chairman of Delta State Sports Commision, says, the state will be full of joy to continuously have the Super Eagles play their matches at the Stephen Keshi Stadium 🏟Asaba.


Okowa said on Thursday that the Super Eagles handlers seemed comfortable with the Delta State capital city’s hosting capabilities and facilities.

Okowa stated: “The state government has not influenced it in any way, the choice of Asaba by the NFF may be out of the fact that the state has successfully hosted other international matches and that the facilities are good.”

“The state government has not really done any form of pushing to continue to host the matches in Asaba but if the state has the option, it will grab it.

“We want to keep bringing them (the Eagles) back because we want to always put the stadium into use and our people love to have them here,” ♥ he added.

The Super Eagles defeated Seychelles 3 - 1 at the Stephen Keshi Stadium, Asaba in their final 2019 Africa Cup Of Nations qualifier, and will play against Egypt in an international friendly next week Tuesday at the same venue.
