Thousands of worshippers gathered at Manchester United’s Old Trafford stadium in England on Saturday for a prayer conference led by Nigerian pastor Jerry Eze.

The event, organised by Streams of Joy International, brought together Christians from across the United Kingdom and other parts of the world for prayer, worship and fellowship.

The gathering, known as the NSPPD UK Prayer Conference, transformed the 74,000-capacity football stadium into a venue for Christian worship.

Several gospel music stars and ministers joined Eze at the event, including Mercy Chinwo, Dunsin Oyekan, Sunmisola Agbebi and Kaestrings.

Attendance was free, but participants were encouraged to register ahead of the conference because of limited capacity.

Demand for tickets reportedly exceeded availability, with some prospective attendees turning to social media platforms, including TikTok, to seek tickets from people who could no longer attend.

The conference attracted considerable attention online, with photographs and videos showing large crowds participating in the worship session.

Old Trafford, the home ground of Manchester United Football Club, is one of England’s most recognisable football stadiums.
