Construction began in the 1980s as an ambitious sports project for Lagos. The facility took years to complete and became a landmark for professional football in the city.
The venue is named after a revered Nigerian football player and reflects how sports shape community pride in Lagos. Football runs deep in the city's daily life and this ground serves as a gathering place for that passion.
