The idea to create a safe place for families to bond during football matches was made by Super Eagles legend and club chairman, Kanu just days after replacing Finidi George with 32-year-old Yemi Daniel Olanrewaju.
“As a father, I believe it’s essential to create a safe space where families can bond over their love of football,” the administrator who once faced a backlash said in a statement.

The new Family Stand is designed to be more than just a seating area; it's envisioned as a safe, welcoming space where parents can introduce their children to the thrill of live football without concerns about rowdy crowds or inappropriate behaviour.
"This family stand is a significant step towards making Enyimba a hub for family entertainment and socialisation," the former Super Eagles star added.

The initiative reflects a commitment from the People’s Elephant to foster unity and togetherness among its fanbase, while also focusing on the future of the club by engaging younger supporters.
The Family Stand offers a unique opportunity for parents to share their passion for Enyimba with their children in a comfortable environment.

It's equipped with facilities that cater to families' needs, ensuring that even the youngest fans can enjoy the excitement of a live match.
