Abuja Stadium

Soccer is particularly popular in Nigeria, for most of you in Europe, you must have heard names like OKOCHA, KANU NWAKO, e.t.c. The country won the Soccer gold at the Los Ageles Olympics, and also the under 17 FIFA world cup in China.The country also hosted the All African Games in 2003 at the Abuja Sport Stadium, and came second in the event. There several sport shops all over Lagos and Abuja. And I will advice would be tourist to buy kits on arival in Nigeria, because, it is cheaper, and you'll avoid excess luggage.
