We all know that Nigeria and Ivory Coast will be playing in the AFCON finals 2023 (2024)

So the tension is rising in both countries as the time of the match draws near

But some set of persons have been excluded from watching tonight's match

Why is that??

This is to prevent a recurrence of unfortunate events that occurred in the last match (Nigeria Vs South Africa)

Check image below

They include people that have had a stroke in the past, partial stroke, heart attack in the past and those that have uncontrolled hypertension

Why should you not watch the match if your BP is not controlled??

Football could cause the following events in the body:
1) Increased Heart rate
2) Increase in systolic and diastolic pressure
3) Increased release of Vasoactive hormones e.g adrenaline
4) Increased physical and emotional response
5) Strain on the heart and blood vessels

All these events listed above could lead to severe unfortunate occurrences like stroke, heart attack, repeat stroke or even death

So please let's be careful.
