It was the national team\u2019s first competitive game in the country\u2019s commercial capital in 20 years.<\/p>\n

Uyo had been home to the Super Eagles for years, but they have not played at the Akwa Ibom Stadium since 2019.<\/p>\n

They are now set to continue in Lagos, with Rohr confirming it after the friendly match against Cameroon.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fans are welcome, we hope that the fans can come to the stadium in September, that this crazy pandemic which is making things difficult for everybody will allow them to be with us,\u201d Rohr said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to start well in Lagos in the Teslim Balogun stadium,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The 2022 World Cup qualifiers were initially scheduled to start in June, but CAF moved it to September as some countries\u2019 host stadiums did not meet FIFA\u2019s standards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
