Kano FA suspends matches at Kano Pillars Sani Abacha stadium weeks before Kotoko clash
The Kano State Football Association says it has suspended all local competition matches at the Sani Abacha Stadium in Kano, just two weeks before Kano Pillars home match against Asante Kotoko.
Shehu Buhari, the association’s Secretary, disclosed in a statement on Friday in Kano that the decision was made during the association board’s meeting.
He said the suspension was necessary considering that Kano Pillars Football Club would play their home matches in the 2019/2020 African Champions League at the stadium.
“The association, in this wise, wants to appeal to the Kano State Government to put more efforts into renovating the stadium to meet the CAF standard before the competition begins.”
Asante Kotoko are to fly to Nigeria to face Kano Pillars in the Champion League preliminary stages.
