Fans eager to watch the Super Eagles of Nigeria take on Rwanda’s Amavubi in Saturday’s 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo will have to pay N3,000 for VIP tickets and N1,000 for popular stand tickets.

According to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), tickets will be available at designated centres across Uyo from Friday morning.

NFF Director of Marketing and Sponsorship, Alizor Chuks, said on Wednesday that stringent measures had been put in place to tackle ticket racketeering.

“It is important to let the general public know that the NFF Security Committee has declared total war on all ticket manipulators this time. Ticket fakers and racketeers will be dealt with. All tickets will be scanned at the gates. All intending spectators are advised to buy their tickets from accredited sellers. Fake ticket sellers or holders will be arrested and prosecuted,” he warned.

Meanwhile, Rwanda’s delegation arrived at the Victor Attah International Airport, Uyo, at 5:28 pm on Tuesday. The contingent, led by newly elected President of FERWAFA, Fabrice Shema Agoga, was received by members of the local organizing committee and lodged at the Ibom Hotel and Golf Resort. They are scheduled to train at the Nest of Champions practice pitch on Wednesday at 4:00 pm.

In Nigeria’s camp, the arrivals of Africa Player of the Year Ademola Lookman and Panathinaikos forward Cyriel Dessers further swelled the squad at the Four Points by Sheraton Hotel, Ikot Ekpene. Both checked in on Wednesday morning.

The remaining five players, Victor Osimhen, Christantus Uche, Tolu Arokodare, Samuel Chukwueze and Raphael Onyedika, are expected later in the evening.
