President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Amaju Pinnick, has stated that the national team will continue to play their matches in Kaduna.
Pinnick said that the city has always been a good hunting ground for the teams and praised the passion of the residents.
Speaking ahead of Nigeria’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Chad, which was played at the Ahmadu Bello Stadium, he said: “Kaduna State has always been a perfect ground for all national teams, and a city in love with football. We are excited anytime we bring a match of the national team to Kaduna, because we are always sure of massive support for our team.
“I have wonderful memories of the city of Kaduna, right from when the city hosted the National Sports Festival. The U-17 National Team, U-20 National Team, Super Falcons and Super Eagles have played in Kaduna before, with excellent results and happy memories of total support during their games.”
The Super Eagles battled to a 2-0 win over Chad on Saturday evening, with goals coming from Gbolahan Salami and Odion Ighalo.
