Disaster avoided as 40,000 cram into 15,000 capacity stadium for Nigeria v Egypt
A major disaster was avoided on Friday as an estimated 40,000 supporters packed into the Ahmadu Bello Stadium in Kaduna to watch Nigeria’s 1-1 draw with Egypt. Listed as a 16,000 capacity venue, the venue in the north west of the country was subject to a heavy military presence after a pitch invasion marred the last international to be played there last June.
