Lagos last hosted a competitive game with the team 20 years ago, when they beat Zambia 1-0 in a 2002 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier on January 13, 2001, at the National Stadium.
And commenting on the decision to have the game played in Lagos, Adepoju said: “ Football is coming back home, irrespective of how difficult Lagos fans are. I’m sure the players can take and cope with the pressure of playing in Lagos.
“They have experienced such pressure in their careers at club level,” He told brila.net.
The Eagles top Group L on eight points and are closely followed by Benin Republic.
