Delta Sports Commission boss, Tonobok Okowa has confirmed that the
Stephen Keshi Stadium, Asaba will host another game of the Super Eagles in June
during the next FIFA free window for international friendly games.
He didn’t mention the name of the opposition but he said that
the Delta State Government has acquired the hosting rights of the game.
In an interactive
session with journalists in Asaba yesterday Okowa answered various questions
bothering on the facilities at the Stephen Keshi Stadium and the readiness of
the state to host Eagles future matches.
He said the lapses
noticed at the stadium was because the stadium has not been handed over to the
Delta State Government by the contractor and that by the time the Eagles will
play another friendly game in June all the discrepancies must have been
corrected.
“We are happy to
announce that we have for the hosting rights to host the Eagles’ forthcoming
friendly game in June. I was told the negotiations on the friendly are still
being finalised,” Okowa told journalists.
“We know that the
stadium has not been fully completed but it has not been handed over to Delta
State because the contractor is yet to finish up. Issues relating to
scoreboard, convenience and other electrical issues will be resolved before the
game in June.”
Okowa also confirmed that the Delta State Government has acquired the
ownership of Kada City after completing all formalities regarding the handover
of the topflight side.
