African football legends will be staging a charity game intended to raise money for thousands of internally displaced persons (IDPs) across various states in the North.

Former Super Eagles captain and Arsenal FC great, Nwankwo Kanu, and Senegal’s former skipper, Hadji Diouf, will lead a legion of ace footballers who have made their mark in the game on the A world stage in a game against Kano Pillars. The encounter comes up on Thursday, December 14, at the 29,000-capacity Sani Abacha Stadium, Kano.

Daily Sun was told that the charity contest was already eliciting immense excitement in the city and beyond. Everyone in Kano is already talking about the game.

The footballers are coming to play for the thousands of Nigerians currently camped in different IDP camps across the country, most of which are in the North.
