The Teslim Balogun Stadium will play host to Sierra Leone’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifier with Cote d’Ivoire on September 6.
The match will be played in Lagos as Sierra Leone are banned from hosting international games due to the outbreak of the deadly Ebola virus.
The Lagos State FA will provide use of the stadium and medical facilities for the game while the Sierra Leone association will cater for all other logistics.
The game against the African champions will be the first for Ghanaian Sellas Tetteh, who has been appointed as Sierra Leone caretaker coach.
