Under-performing Heartland are set to play their next home game at the Dan Anyiam stadium Owerri months after the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) banned the usage of the venue in January.
The ban which also affected Abia Warriors according to NPFL was due to poor condition of their playing pitches.
In a post on the club’s official Facebook page, the club said having passed the series of inspections by the NPFL board they will play their next home game at the stadium.
“Following series of inspections by the NPFL board, and subsequent approval, we are glad to announce that we will return to Dan Anyiam Stadium, Owerri for our games starting on Friday, April 19 (tomorrow) when we face Shooting Stars in a MD 31 tie.

“We enjoin our fans in Owerri and its environs, to storm the D.A.S. and come cheer us to victory.”
The ‘Naze millionaires’ who are having a poor run in the NPFL this season are currently 19th on the table with 26 points after 30 games.
They are expected to fight against relegation in their next home game against Shooting Stars who are fifth on the log with 49 points, 23 more than Heartland.
Meanwhile, Shooting Stars technical adviser Gbenga Ogunbote has urged his players not to be distracted by the change of venue for their matchday 31 clash with Heartland.
