The Ministry  of Youth  and Sports Development and the Presidential Task Force on Covid-19  have advised the Edo  State Government  and the  Nigerian  Football Federation  against  breaching the Covid-19 protocol  by not allowing fans into the  Nations Cup game against  Sierra Leone.

In a  letter to the Deputy Governor  of  Edo State Comrade Philip  Shaibu, the Ministry  said” The Ministry  wishes to bring to your  urgent attention  that in compliance with the  condition of no gathering  agreed upon by the Ministry and the Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19 before the Federal Government opened up football and contacts sports, the match between Nigeria and Sierra Leone will not have any audience and no gathering save for players, match officials and government officials from both countries. Testings must be conducted on all of them prior to the match.

The Ministry  further disclosed  ” The no gathering  no audience for football  and contact sports is still in force. Which means there shall be no gathering  for the Nigerian  vs Sierra Leone match as any violation  of this condition may lead to a roll back of the opening up of football  and contact sports  in the country.

The PTF and the Ministry  are on the same  page on this matter and the protocol  for clearances rests with both the Ministry and the PTF when it comes to staging any sports event in Nigeria. Full compliance  with  Covid-19  protocols  is to be  enforced.”

The PTF is worried about   a spike  following  a   second wave of  Covid-19  and is considering  another  lockdown .

The Edo State Government  had announced that  the  gates  would be thrown open to allow fans watch the game.

The match is billed for  the Samuel  Ogbemudia Stadium, Benin.
