The 2014 World Cup to be held in Brazil’s qualifiers is underway and Nigeria is to host Kenya in Calabar where both teams are to decide their fate.
The southern coastal city of Calabar has so far hosted the Eagles matches as a result of the poor state of the Abuja Nation
al Stadium pitch.
“The Eagles will play again in Calabar, that is their new home and the leadership of the NFF has approved this,” a top official disclosed.
“They are very much at home there and have so far won their matches there.”
