DAILY COURIER – The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has officially announced the opening of media accreditation for the upcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying match between the Super Eagles of Nigeria and the Mediterranean Knights of Libya. The highly anticipated encounter is scheduled for Friday, October 11, 2024, at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo, starting at 5 PM.
In a press statement released by the NFF Communications Department, media organizations were invited to submit their requests for accreditation, emphasizing the importance of timely submissions. Editors and managers are urged to send their accreditation requests via email between 12:00 PM on Sunday, October 6, and 6:00 PM on Tuesday, October 8. The NFF has specified that no late requests will be entertained, reinforcing the need for adherence to the deadline.
Given the limited capacity of the Media Gallery at the stadium, the NFF has also outlined that each media organization will be allocated only one slot for either a press or photo journalist. This measure aims to ensure an organized and efficient experience for all accredited media personnel.
Accreditation cards will be made available for pickup at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium from 4 PM on Thursday, October 10. Media representatives are advised to plan accordingly to ensure they receive their credentials in time for the match.
The NFF expressed its appreciation for the support and cooperation of the media, recognizing their crucial role in promoting Nigerian football. They reiterated their commitment to fostering a strong partnership with the media as they prepare for the significant fixture against Libya.
