Street Football has been one of the most the popular sports in Nigeria. If you happen to be a Nigerian and you didn't play street football either when growing us a kind or as an adult, you probably did not enjoy your childhood or adulthood 😃

Its popularity is largely due to the ease of organisation and its use of a small pitch size compared to a standard football pitch. It's usually a four or five players aside and the game can be played on grass or sandy soil.

Today, movement is being restricted across the nation due to the governorship and senatorial election holding in Nigeria, and this made football lovers to take to the expressway to play street football (especially those who aren't voting). That's how we normally do here during election.

There were no vehicles or motorcycles since movement is restricted today so there's no need to be scared on oncoming vehicles 😃

Not everyone can do this. It's very dangerous to play football on a tarred road on bare foot because you have to be mindful of how you tackle your opponent and how you move around with the ball or else you could easily sustain injuries. Yeah it's risky but that's what we do in this part of the world because we love football.
