But the actions of Boko Haram has forced the Adamawa Government to ban the operation of football viewing centres indefinitely in the state.
The state government said in a statement by Ahmad Sajoh, Director Press and Public Affairs to Governor Murtala Nyako, that the ban was based on the advice of the Nigerian Army.
The statement said the government regretted any inconvenience caused by the action to the
teeming football fans and the owners of the viewing centres.



NAN recalls that there has been growing concern over the safety of viewing centres in Adamawa following last Sunday’s bomb attack on a pub in Mubi.
The beer parlours also serve as football viewing centres at Kabang ward of Mubi town where the incident claimed many lives.
NAN reports that with the ban, many football fans will not be able to watch the 2014 World Cup matches from the centres which had sprung up across the state.
