The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has announced ticket prices and sales points for the highly anticipated 2026 World Cup qualifier between the Super Eagles of Nigeria and South Africa’s Bafana Bafana.
The match will take place on Friday at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo, with kickoff set for 8:00 p.m..
Tickets go on sale Thursday morning and will be available for N1,000 (Popular Stands) and N3,000 (VIP) at designated locations. These include Comfort FM Radio Station (Ikot Akpanabia), Inspiration FM Radio Station (Udo Udoma Street), Memories FM Radio Station (Ernest Bassey Street), and De-Choice Shopping Mall.
Additional sales points, including fuel stations and eateries, will be announced later on Thursday.
The NFF aims to ensure convenient access to tickets by spreading sales points beyond the stadium and completing sales before the match begins on Friday evening.
