The League Management Company (LMC), organizers of the Glo Premier League has granted its approval for the renovated Umuahia Township Stadium to host Premier League games this season.
A letter signed by the Chief Operating Officer of the LMC, Salihu Abubakar, dated 25th February, 2014 and addressed to the Chairman of Abia Warriors, Emeka Inyama, said the “Umuahia Township Stadium met the required standard to host Premier League Matches” following a recent inspection by the LMC carried out on the stadium.
In expressing its pleasure over the development, LMC reminded the club that it will conduct routine sports checks during the season to ensure that minimum criteria for facilities, security and crowd control were sustained and congratulated Abia Warriors for passing the test as it debuts in the Premier League.
