Akwa Ibom Upgrades Godswill Akpabio Stadium With Digital LED Boards Ahead of AFCON Qualifiers
The Akwa Ibom State Government has installed modern digital LED advertising boards at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying match against Tanzania.
The installation is part of efforts to improve the stadium’s facilities and matchday presentation following criticism from football fans over its advertising infrastructure.
The new digital boards are expected to improve the stadium’s commercial value, provide better advertising opportunities and enhance the experience of fans attending matches.
The development also marks a step towards bringing the 30,000-capacity stadium closer to modern international standards.
The Godswill Akpabio International Stadium regularly hosts major domestic and international football matches and is expected to welcome the Super Eagles for their AFCON 2027 qualifying encounter against Tanzania.
The improved advertising facilities will form part of the stadium’s preparations as Nigeria looks to secure maximum points in front of its home supporters.
