“What is going on in the federation right now is they are coming out with a world-class technical centre. What do you mean by technical centre? The Abuja National Stadium is going through a revamp; part of it is already a building, and this technical centre will be synchronised with the national stadium. So, I can tell you for free that within the next two years, watch out for Nigeria in terms of facilities,” Pinnick stated.
The planned technical centre is expected to serve as a hub for training and development for Nigeria’s national teams, ensuring that the country’s football setup is on par with global standards.
With these developments, Pinnick believes Nigeria will soon enjoy significantly improved facilities that could transform the nation’s sporting landscape.
