Abuja National Stadium is an all-seater national sports stadium located in Abuja, The Federal Government of Nigeria approved the contract for the construction of the National Stadium complex and Games Village on July 18th 2000. The stadium was constructed to host the 8th All Africa Games which took place in October 2003.

STRUCTURE
The Abuja National Stadium main bowl is designed to accommodate 60,000 spectator seats covered by a lightweight roof construction. The main characteristics are the two overlapping spectator tiers; the lower tier accommodating 32,000 seats and the upper tier 28,000 seats. The lower tier also incorporates 56 corporate suites with viewing terraces and one presidential lounge for 50 guests. All functional and secondary areas are accommodated in the entrance building which provides a gross floor area of approximately 25,000 m². This building is arranged below the concourse level which serves as the spectators‘ distribution level and therefore provides several kiosks, banks, first aid stations and toilet buildings. The structure of the stadium is a combination of insitu and precast concrete elements. There are 36 towers supporting the upper tier and the roof structure. These towers are founded on 140 bored piles with diameters of 1.30 m and 1.50 m in a depth of 8.00 m to 30.00 m

Beautiful stadium!

I was told the stadium pitch is not of international standard.

What do your eyes tell you?

What do your eyes tell you?
:lol::lol::lol:

What do your eyes tell you?Ok! But, merely looking at the stadium pitch from photo can not be used to prove the standard. LINK (http://http://allafrica.com/stories/200906010428.html)

the link doesnt work

Am not here to argue about the standard. It is indeed a good stadium.

Again the LINK (http://allafrica.com/stories/200906010428.html)

FOTC, tis good. You're good people, in fact, one of the last people on here I'd expect to start a pointless argument. My comment was meant tongue firmly in cheek.

The Abuja stadium is beautiful, even if some things can be imrpoved.
