The family stand made its debut during Enyimba's impressive 3-0 victory over Katsina United in an NPFL encounter. This new addition to the stadium is set to revolutionise how families enjoy football matches in Aba.
Enyimba Football Club, under the leadership of Super Eagles legend Nwankwo Kanu, has introduced this exciting feature with the aim of creating a safe and enjoyable environment for families to bond during football matches.
The idea, conceived by club chairman Kanu himself, goes beyond just providing seating; it's designed as a welcoming space where parents can introduce their children to the thrill of live football without worrying about rowdy crowds or inappropriate behaviour.
To celebrate the opening, families were presented with branded gift items, including shirts emblazoned with 'The Family Stand'. This gesture underscores the club's commitment to fostering a family-friendly atmosphere at their matches.
The club expressed their appreciation for the families' participation on their X (formerly Twitter) account, stating, "Thank you for being part of our Family Stand. We look forward to seeing you and your family once again."
This initiative by Kanu and Enyimba represents a significant step towards improving the overall football experience in Nigeria, potentially setting a new standard for other clubs in the NPFL and has been welcomed by fans and followers of the club.
"Things we love to see in our league," one of the fans stated while another added "Now this is beautiful.. I love this new media push.. we've to take all our socials media pages serious in promoting the Enyimba brand.. this will boost attendance and revenue. I was at the last home game and the atmosphere was electric as usual before the lights out."
By creating a dedicated space for families, Enyimba are not only enhancing the matchday experience but also potentially growing their fan base by making their home games more accessible and appealing to a wider audience.
