AFCON 2025 Host: CAF Gives Stephen Keshi Stadium Asaba Thumbs Up Sports
While agreeing that the arena is suitable for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, they noted some corrections that must be made at the stadium to make it perfect for the competition.
Nigeria and Benin Republic have put up a joint bid to co-host the 2025 African Cup of Nations, with the Nigeria Football Federation listing Stephen Keshi Stadium, Asaba, as one of the venues. Chairman, Delta Sports Commission, Tonobok Okowa, promised that the state would fix the few areas the visitors pointed out as quickly as possible.
The stadium hosted last year’s National Sports festival, and according to Okowa, “the facility has been updated to meet any international standard in terms of hosting any sporting competition.” He said: “As we speak, the team from CAF is satisfied with facilities at the Stephen Keshi stadium. They inspected the main bowl, training facilities, hotels and other important facilities that will ensure the smooth running of the competition.
