According to a tweet on the Super Eagles Twitter handle, bags won’t be allowed into the Wembley Stadium as part of the security measures put in place by the English FA in collaboration with security operatives to stave off unwarranted terrorists attacks.
“Important info ahead of @England v @NGSuperEagles ⏰Arrive at least an hour before kick-off as enhanced searches will take place🛍We strongly discourage bringing bags to this event😁Enjoy the game at the weekend!
Beefing up security on match days in the UK is no longer news after a World War Two bomb was found close to the Wembley Stadium on May 22, 2015.
Two years later, precisely May 22, 22 people died after an explosion rocked a pop concert at Manchester Arena in London as a result of a terrorist attack.
The Wembley showdown will be the second meeting for both sides.
