There are indications that President Muhammadu Buhari may be part of the dignitaries that will be at the Moshood Abiola Stadium in Abuja to drum support for the Super Eagles against Ghana’s Black Stars in Qatar 2022 World Cup Play-Off.
According to Nigeria’s Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Sunday Dare, President Muhammadu Buhari may attend the 2022 World Cup Qualifier playoff between the Super Eagles of Nigeria and the Black Star of Ghana today. The crucial match will kick off at 6:00 pm Nigerian time.
Dare said this president may possibly show up at the Moshood Abiola Stadium in Abuja to drum support for the Super Eagles against Ghana’s Black Stars.
“I was in Lagos on Tuesday, March 22, and the President asked me why was I not in Ghana and I realized that the President also knows that there is a Ghana match,” the minister was quoted to have said.
Dare mentioned that the president has not given him 100 percent assurance that he would attend the second leg but he is “likely going to show up here on the 29th as a surprise.”
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Youth and Sports Development and the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) have teamed up to buy 20,000 tickets for fans ahead of the second-leg cracker between the rival countries.
The Video Assistant Referee (VAR) has also been installed at the Moshood Abiola stadium for the match.
The VAR is said to have been tested and certified for the all-important clash that will decide the team that will join four other African teams in Qatar.
