“You can see the massive turnout that witness today’s final . Bwari is a Mecca of football in Abuja. Every football cub want to adopt Bwari Township Stadium as their home. There is no day without football competition at the stadium.
All Nationwide League matches and some reschedule National League are played here because of the facilities and FIFA standard of the pitch. This stadium can host NPFL matches, just unfortunate that we don’t have premier league Club in Abuja.
