The National Stadium in Abuja, Moshood Abiola National Stadium has become the first Stadium in Africa to get the new FIFA Approved VIP and Team Shelter
The stadium serves as a home to the Nigerian national football team, as well as a center for various social, cultural, and religious events.
The Federal Government of Nigeria approved the contract for the construction of the National Stadium complex and Games Village on 18 July 2000.
The stadium was constructed to host the 8th All Africa Games which took place in October 2003. On 12 June 2019, President Muhammadu Buhari announced the change of the name of the National Stadium, Abuja to Moshood Abiola National Stadium.
The stadium was closed down after fans destroyed part of the stadium after losing the 2022 Fifa world cup tickets to Ghana.
