Paseiro will have a look at the facilities at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo a venue reported to have a better playing turf than the Moshood Abiola International Stadium, Abuja where the Portuguese gaffer took charge of his first competitive Super Eagles game vs Sierra Leone.

Jose Paseiro will be attending his second NPFL game when he arrives for the game on Saturday. The Portuguese was a guest at the Kwara Sports Complex on Sunday 19th June 2022 when Junior Lukosa’s first-half strike helped Kwara United to a 1-0 win over Sunshine Stars on Matchday 34.

Plateau United suffered a huge blow to their NPFL title chase with a 1-1 draw vs Gombe United in Jos on Sunday. Coach Fidelis Illechukwu and his charges will have to win in Uyo to deny Rivers United the chance to be crowned champions of the league on Sunday 26th June 2022 in Port Harcourt.

The presence of the Super Eagles Head Coach will make the Akwa United Fc vs Plateau United game even more interesting
