Manchester United’s iconic Old Trafford Stadium was transformed into a massive centre of prayer and worship on Saturday, September 26, 2026, as Nigerian pastor and founder of Streams of Joy International, Pastor Jerry Uchechukwu Eze, led thousands of worshippers at the NSPPD UK Prayer Conference.
The 74,000-capacity stadium, renowned globally as the home of Manchester United, was filled with worshippers who gathered not for a football match but to pray, worship and hear the Christian gospel.
The free conference, organised under Eze’s New Season Prophetic Prayers and Declarations (NSPPD) platform, drew worshippers from across the United Kingdom and beyond.
The gathering marked a striking transformation of one of the world’s most famous football venues into an arena of prayer, praise and Christian fellowship, with thousands joining in worship and prayers.
Eze, who has built NSPPD from a daily online prayer broadcast into a global Christian prayer movement, led the congregation through an intense session of prayers, worship and declarations.
The event also featured performances and ministry from prominent Nigerian gospel artistes and ministers, including Mercy Chinwo, Dunsin Oyekan, Sunmisola Agbebi and Kaestrings.
The packed stadium provided a dramatic backdrop as worshippers lifted their voices in prayer and praise, with the conference centred on faith, salvation, healing, breakthrough and a new season of spiritual renewal.
The unprecedented gathering underscored the growing international reach of Nigerian gospel ministries, as Eze brought the NSPPD prayer experience from the digital space to one of the most recognisable sporting landmarks in the world.
For the thousands who attended, Old Trafford became, for several hours, a place of worship rather than football, as the stadium echoed with prayers, songs of praise and declarations of faith.
