Oyo State government has announced no gate fee for Falconets match against Rwanda U-20 team, slated for Saturday, September 27th, at the Lekan Salami stadium Adamasingba, Ibadan.
The State Commissioner for Youth and Sports, Wasilat Adegoke, disclosed this while briefing newsmen on the preparations towards the FIFA World Cup qualifier match.
She said a projected audience of about 20,000 Falconets fans were expected to watch the match at the stadium.
According to the Commissioner, hosting the match at the Lekan Salami stadium Ibadan would make Ibadan “once again shine as a centre of culture and unity.
Adegoke said the gesture reflected the commitment of Governor Seyi Makinde to ensure inclusiveness“and to give every football loving Nigerian, especially our people in Oyo state the opportunity to be part of the global event.”
She, therefore, called on the people of the state to come out in their numbers to fill the stadium to capacity and cheers Falconets to victory.
