Joseph Yobo, former Super Eagles skipper, says the only regret he has about his testimonial game is the inability to invite all those willing to participate in the match.
He expressed delight over being able to secure the services of major international players.
Preparations for the game has taken Yobo to his old stomping grounds in Europe.
“It has been amazing. Almost everybody wants to come and play,” he said. “My only regret is that I can’t invite everybody.”
At Everton where he spent nearly a decade of his playing career, Yobo was warmly received by the entire club.
Fans gave him a standing ovation at half time of the club Premier League game against Bournemouth.
“That was an emotional moment for me. And I would like to thank Evertonians for the love,” he said.
The testimonial will be hosted by the Rivers state government at the new Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium on May 27.
