The Confederation of African Football (CAF) on Saturday released the list of stadia approved for CAF competitions as they set to kickoff the 2024/2025 Continental season.
As confirmed, the Confederation only approved the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo as the only stadium that can host a CAF Champions League and CAF Confederations cup games.
The development came after CAF delegations touched down the shores of Nigeria to inspect stadia for clubs in Nigeria who qualified to pay in the continent.
Nigeria has four representatives in the Continental scene as league champions, Rangers International will be playing in the CAF Champions League.
Remo Stars who came as runners up in the league will join Rangers in the Champions league cadre.
Enyimba and El-Kanami Warriors will be playing in the CAF Confederations cup and all the four teams will have their home matches played at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium as the only CAF Approved stadium in the country.Â
Last season, Rivers United and Enyimba played their home games in Uyo in their Continental games.
It has been seen recently the importance CAF has placed on having standard stadia that can host international tournaments.
The Federation of international football Association (FIFA) a few months ago gave the same Godswill Akpabio International Stadium the approval to host international tournaments as Super Eagles of Nigeria returned to Uyo as their home ground.
Several other games from the continent and at the international stage awaits the sports bowl.
