The management of Akwa United has decided to relocate their season home games to another venue.
Since the completion of the Goodswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo, the Promise Keepers have been playing their home at the venue.
But the club management has decided that henceforth, their home games will played at the newly renovated Eket Township Stadium.
The reason cited is because of the upcoming international games that will be coming up at the Stadium starting this weekend.
Apart hosting the Super Eagles for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier in November, Godswill Akpabio Stadium will also serve as a home for Enyimba International and Rivers United who will be campaigning in the African Football League and CAF Confederation Cup respectively.
However, the Nigeria Premier Football League, regulatory body of the nation’s domestic football has granted Akwa United’s request to play its remaining 2023/24 season home matches at the Eket Stadium.
In a letter signed by the league’s Chief Operating Officer Davidson Owumi, the league body has approved the 18,000-capacity Eket Stadium for Akwa United until such a time that the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Nest of Champions will be less busy with international matches.
