The iconic facility, formerly known as the National Theatre in Iganmu, has been confirmed as the host venue for African football’s annual awards ceremony. Nigeria will stage the event for the first time since 2015, providing a high-profile platform to celebrate the continent’s outstanding players, coaches, clubs and national teams.
Inspection Focuses on Key Facilities
Nigeria Football Federation officials have expressed confidence that the country’s venues, logistics and organisational experience meet CAF’s requirements. The awards ceremony will recognise excellence across men’s and women’s football, with categories expected to include Player of the Year, Coach of the Year, and other individual and team honours.
Landmark Opportunity for Nigerian Football
While the host city and venue have been confirmed, CAF is yet to announce the official date of the ceremony. Further details on the full list of award categories and the programme of events are expected in the coming weeks as preparations continue.
