The much anticipated 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying fixture between the Nigeria’s Super Eagles and Sierra Leone’s Leone Stars will be played at the newly refurbished Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, Benin City in Edo State.
The encounter is scheduled for Saturday, November 13, with the reverse fixture to take place four days later in Freetown.
Gernot Rohr’s side played their last home game in the qualifier against Benin Republic at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo.
The Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium last hosted a national team game on November 12, 2011 when the Super Eagles were held to a 0-0 draw in a friendly by the Zebras of Botswana.
The Super Eagles were held to a 1-1 draw in a friendly by the Carthage Eagles of Tunisia in Austria this month.
The three-time African champions top Group L of 2021 AFCON qualifier with six points following victories in their opening two games against neighbours Benin and Lesotho.
