The launch of the William Troost-Ekong foundation will be witnessed by Super Eagles stars and Nigerian football stakeholders from across the nation.
The charity match will take place just before the Super Eagles of Nigeria face the Bafana Bafana of South Africa in a 2026 World Cup qualifier in Uyo.
Troost-Ekong is a native of Akwa Ibom State and so is expected to draw massive crowd and support from the government and people of the oil-rich state.
