Nigeria-Ghana playoff: Senator Kalu buys 5k tickets for fans to watch Nigeria-Ghana clash

Abia North District Senator, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, has already purchased 5,000 tickets for interested fans who would be available to support the Super Eagles.

Senator Kalu announced the gesture two days to the clash between the two West Africa giants at the Mashood Abiola sports stadium in Abuja.

Kalu, announcing the gesture on his Facebook page on Sunday morning noted that his – Orji Uzor Kalu Foundation – will take care of the cost.

The tickets, he said, will be shared at the entrance to the match venue by 3pm.

According to him, “As an African Pillar of Sports, I look forward to the Eagles putting smiles on our faces by winning the match.”

The Super Eagles battle the Black Stars of Ghana in the second leg of the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers after Ghana hosted the first leg at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi on Friday which ended in a goalless draw.

The winner or the team with an away goal, in the event of a draw, in the second leg will clinch one of the five slots for Africa at the World Cup which will be hosted by Qatar in November.
