2023 AFCON Qualifier: CAF releases list of approved stadiums

On Feb 3, 2023

The African Soccer governing body has released the list of the approved stadiums for the 2023 African Cup of Nations qualifiers games.

Only two stadiums were approved in Nigeria and they are MKO Abiola Stadium, in Abuja and Goodswil Akpabio stadium in Uyo.

Out of the 48 countries that will compete, 24 do not have approved stadiums which means they will have to play their home games on neutral ground.

Egypt has the highest number of approved stadiums 6, followed by Algeria and Morocco who have 5 approved stadiums each.

The qualifiers are slated to resume in March 2023 and Nigeria’s Super Eagles remained on top of group B with maximum 6 points from two matches.
