Onikan Stadium, Football stadium in Lagos, Nigeria
The Mobolaji Johnson Arena features a grass pitch and stands with seating arrangements designed to accommodate 10,000 spectators during football matches.
Initially constructed in 1930 as King George V Stadium, the structure represents the oldest sports facility in Nigeria and underwent several name changes throughout its existence.
The stadium serves as the home ground for multiple local football clubs, including Stationery Stores FC, First Bank FC, and Smart City FC, fostering local sports development.
Located near Tafewa Balewa Square on Lagos Island, the stadium provides access to food vendors, merchandise shops, and multiple transportation connections for match attendees.
The facility experienced closure in 2008 following a pitch invasion incident during a Nigeria Football League match between First Bank FC and Warri Wolves.
