Uyo to host Eagles, Bafana clash

 NFF team of officials led by President Amaju Pinnick had toured facilities in the Akwa Ibom capital in recent weeks before arriving at the decision to play the game there.
 The decision to play the game in Uyo follows the recent good report on the hospitable trend in the State.
 The match will be the last in the qualifying series and the newly built 30,000 capacity Stadium will host the encounter.
 Pinnick confirmed on Thursday after inspecting the edifice and described the Stadium that is set to be commissioned on the 20th of November 2014 as one of the best you can find around.
 The traditional home ground of the team UJ Esuene Stadium has been dumped after some section of the media complained on the bumpy turf – after the Super Eagles crashed 3-2 to Congo at the Arena in September.
