In a significant development for Abia Warriors Football Club, the Umuahia Township Stadium has been officially cleared for usage until the end of the current season.
The clearance comes after thorough inspections and assessments by the relevant authorities.
However, the NPFL board has issued a stern directive regarding the stadium’s future usage.
While the facility has been given the green light for the ongoing season, it will not be cleared for the 2024/25 season unless substantial renovations are undertaken.
The decision underscores the importance of maintaining high standards in football infrastructure, ensuring the safety and comfort of players, officials, and spectators alike.
Abia Warriors will need to prioritize renovations to meet the league’s requirements and secure clearance for future seasons.
The announcement serves as a call to action for the club and local authorities to invest in stadium upgrades and improvements.
With proper renovations, the Umuahia Township Stadium can continue to serve as a fitting venue for NPFL matches, enhancing the football experience for fans and stakeholders.
Abia Warriors and stadium management are expected to swiftly initiate renovation plans to address the identified deficiencies and ensure compliance with NPFL standards.
The success of these efforts will determine the stadium’s eligibility for future league competitions.
