“Even before the kick off of the season, hundreds of Kano football fans, pay daily visits to the stadium , to take selfie photographs, I can say that, they the fans can no longer wait to wet their football appetite by surging out in mass to watch NNL matches , when the season finally kicks off.
“Anyone would be hundred percent right to say that Barau fc will be playing their matches in Dambatta, because the facility in Kano north is in shape, let me add that this move will no doubt help promote the motive behind the decentralization of the game to other parts of Kano.
