The Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, on Tuesday said tickets for Friday’s 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON, the qualifying match between Nigeria and Guinea Bissau will go for N2,000 and N10,000.
Ademola Olajire, the NFF’s Director of Communications, said the tickets will go for N2,000 and N10,000 for ordinary and VIP seats respectively.
Super Eagles will take on the Djurtus (Wild Dogs) of Guinea Bissau at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium in Abuja in a Match Day 3 fixture of the qualifiers.
“The tickets are available at the NFF secretariat at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium, Old Parade Ground, NFF’s former office at Wuse Zone 7, and other designated places,” Olajire stated.
Nigeria, on six maximum points from their previous two matches, takes on Guinea Bissau in a top-of-the-table fixture that will largely determine the swing of the pool.
The Super Eagles are favored to pick all six points from Friday’s fixture and the reverse fixture next week to guarantee their passage to the finals in Cote d’Ivoire early next year.
Meanwhile, as of 4 p.m. on Tuesday, there were 21 players in the Super Eagles camp in Abuja.
Only forward Victor Osimhen, who was already in Lagos and waiting to board his flight to Abuja, and Portugal-based defender Zaidu Sanusi, were still being expected.
Egyptian referee Mahmoud Elbana will be the match’s center referee.
His compatriots Youssef Elbosaty, Sami Halhal, and Ahmed El-Ghandour function as assistant referee 1, assistant referee 2, and fourth official respectively.
Prosper Harrison Addo from Ghana will be the match commissioner and his compatriot Kotey Alexander will be the referee assessor.
