Chief Felix Anyasi-Agwu, Chairman, Enyimba FC of Aba, says that the facilities needed at the Enyimba stadium to ensure Enyimba FC and Tara Brazzaville of Congo match held has been installed.
Our correspondent noted that the Enyimba stadium has been undergoing reconstruction to give it a standard, world-class touch since 2016.
Anyansi-Agwu disclosed this on Friday during an interview with newsmen in Aba during the visit of Confederation of African Football (CAF) inspection team to the stadium.
He said that it is very easy for anybody who visits the rehabilitated stadium with the new artificial turf and other improvements to be impressed by the work done at the stadium.
He therefore expressed hope that the team would give approval for the use of the stadium for Enyimba’s match with Tara Brazzaville of Congo on Wednesday.
Anyansi-Agwu said that Abia state needed CAF’s encouragement having witnessed the level of development Enyimba stadium had undergone adding that he hoped that CAF would in a few days give its nod for the match at Aba.
The chairman while debunking the information making the rounds on the social media that the date of the match had been changed described it as misleading stressing that the date is still August 29.
On the official opening of the Enyimba FC Stadium, the chairman said it is the Abia state government who is the custodian of the project that would determine the date for the official opening.
He thanked Governor Okezie Ikpeazu for his magnanimity and commitment which made the Enyimba FC Stadium rehabilitation project a reality noting that the team would now be playing matches at home.
The stadium which now has an artificial turf has undergone massive rehabilitation work with improved convenience area, dressing rooms and stands.
