Nigeria vs DR Congo: NFF opens media accreditation for 2027 CAF U23 Cup of Nations qualifier

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has invited sports media organisations to apply for accreditation for the 2027 CAF U23 Cup of Nations qualifying match between Nigeria’s U23 Men National Team, the Olympic Eagles, and the U23 Men National Team of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The second-round, second-leg fixture will be played at Remo Stars Stadium, Ikenne-Remo, on Tuesday, 17th November 2026. Kick-off is scheduled for 16:00hrs.

The match is part of the qualifying series for next year’s final tournament, which will be hosted by Egypt.

Media organisations must submit accreditation requests by email to ademola.olajire68@gmail.com. Applications will open at 14:00hrs on Sunday, 15th November 2026, and close at 14:00hrs on Monday, 16th November 2026.

The NFF said requests received after the deadline would not be considered.

Because of the limited capacity of the Media Gallery at Remo Stars Stadium, each media organisation will be allocated no more than one accreditation slot covering a press journalist and photo-journalist.

Accreditation cards will be available for collection at Remo Stars Stadium, Ikenne-Remo, on Monday, 16th November 2026.

The NFF leadership thanked the country’s sporting media for its continued support, understanding and co-operation.
