**Lobi Stars Returns Home, Set to Host Doma United at Makurdi's McCarthy Stadium** The Nigeria National League (NNL) has given the green light for Lobi Stars to resume playing their home matches at the McCarthy Stadium in Makurdi, Benue State. This decision comes after a recent inspection of the stadium's facilities, which were deemed satisfactory. In an interview, the Chief Operating Officer of the NNL, Danlami Alanana, revealed that the league's inspectors were impressed with the upgrades made to the stadium, citing it as a significant improvement from the previous season. Recall that Lobi Stars had played their home matches in the first stanza of the season at the Lafia City Stadium in Nasarawa State due to concerns over the standard of the McCarthy Stadium. The NNL's approval for Lobi Stars to return to their home base is a welcome development for football fans in Makurdi, who will now be able to watch their team play in their hometown. The team is set to host Doma United in their first game of the second stanza. While the NNL's approval is a provisional one, Alanana warned that the league will continue to monitor the facilities to ensure that they meet the required standards. This means that Lobi Stars will have to maintain their high level of upkeep to avoid any potential backlash. The return of Lobi Stars to the McCarthy Stadium is a testament to the efforts made by the team and the Benue State government to improve the standard of the stadium. This development is also expected to boost the morale of the team and their fans, who have been eagerly waiting to see their team play at home. For now, Lobi Stars fans have something to look forward to, as their team takes on Doma United in what promises to be an exciting encounter.
