The League Management Company, LMC, organisers of the Glo Premier League, has granted its approval for the renovated Umuahia Township Stadium to host Premier League games this season.

A letter signed by the Chief Operating Officer of the LMC, Salihu Abubakar, dated February 25 and addressed to the Chairman of Abia Warriors, Emeka Inyama, said following a recent inspection by the LMC, the stadium had met the required standard to host Premier League matches.
