Football enthusiasts will be required to pay N3,000 and N1,000 to attend the highly anticipated 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying match between Nigeria’s Super Eagles and Rwanda’s Amavubi on Saturday at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo.
Tickets for the VIP section will be priced at N3,000, while general admission seats will be available for N1,000. Sales will commence on Friday morning at designated locations throughout Uyo.
Alizor Chuks, the Nigeria Football Federation’s Director of Marketing and Sponsorship, emphasised on Wednesday the importance of ticket integrity. “The NFF Security Committee has declared a zero-tolerance policy towards ticket fraud this time around.
We will take decisive action against those involved in ticket counterfeiting and racketeering.”
Chuks advised fans to purchase tickets only from authorised vendors, stressing that all tickets will be verified at the entrance. “Individuals found in possession of fake tickets will face arrest and prosecution,” he warned.
In preparation for Saturday’s clash, the Amavubi team arrived at Victor Attah International Airport, Uyo, at 5:28 pm on Tuesday, led by Fabrice Shema Agoga, the newly-elected President of the Rwandan Football Association (FERWAFA). They were warmly welcomed by representatives from the local organising committee and are currently residing at the Ibom Hotel and Golf Resort in Uyo. The team is scheduled to conduct a training session at the Nest of Champions practice pitch at 4 pm on Wednesday.
