My people, e be like say we don get gbege for here! Ogun State government dem never give dem green light to move the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup qualifier wey dey com against Senegal to Abeokuta, wey na true home of sports.
So, wetin happen be say, Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) don talk say dem wan host the match for MKO Abiola Sports Complex, but the Ogun State government still dey think am. One big man from the state wey no wan show face talk say the governor, Dapo Abiodun, never hear full gist about the matter yet. E no go fit approve am make we waka go Abeokuta without serious talk.
Dem say dis na good development for Ogun State, as dem don already host Super Falcons before and dem sabi say di governor get the mind to support dem if e reach football matter. With the quality of di facilities wey dey for Abeokuta, no wahala wey dey for Nigeria Football Federation request.
The matter don land, say CAF don approve the NFF request to change venue for the match. Ruth David, di director of competitions for NFF talk say dem go play di match for Abeokuta instead of Lekan Salami Stadium for Ibadan, because di pitch no dey carry weight again. Dem no fit risk am!
The Ibadan stadium don already host di Falconets‘ second-round qualifier against Rwanda last year but now, dem go pack dem things comot for Ibadan and start to train for Abeokuta as dem prepare to face Senegal.
As we dey look am now, Nigeria don reach dis third round after dey send Rwanda packing with serious 5-0 aggregate! Na who ever win dis tie between Nigeria and Senegal go move go di final round! Dem go face either Guinea-Bissau or Malawi, wey go determine wetin go happen for Poland from September 5 to 27, 2026.
No be small matter, my guys! All football lovers, make we dey cross our fingers as we dey wait the Ogun State governor’s approval. Na dem dey control di final show now. One thing we sabi be say, our girls fit better play ball and dem fit carry di cup home.
