Brazilian football legend Pele(Edson Arantes do Nascimento) has been invited for the opening game of the newly built Uyo township stadium.
The homebased Eagles will next week in Uyo play their Ghanaian counterparts in a friendly match, billed to commission the newly built stadium.
Organisers have revealed that, Pele has been invited for the occasion, with president Goodluck Jonathan also expected to be in attendance.
But it is not yet certain if the three-time World Cup winner will be coming to Nigeria, as he has not yet confirmed his participation.
The state of the art stadium is presently adjudged to be the best in Nigeria, because of the ultra modern facilities that it has.
The Super Eagles will play their last home game of the 2015 African Nations Cup game against South African there.
