Abakiliki FC, Kwara United battle for title in Lagos on June 28

Published 2 weeks ago1 minute read

For the second successive year, the Mobolaji Johnson Arena, Lagos, will host the grand finale of the President Federation Cup competition on June 28, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has announced.

The compact but dainty facility by the waterfront hosted last year’s grand finale, in which El-Kanemi Warriors defeated Abia Warriors to emerge winners of the men’s competition, while Rivers Angels edged Naija Ratels 1-0 in the women’s version. The venue is also the site of the former King George V Stadium, which was later renamed Lagos City Stadium, and later renamed Onikan Stadium.

Lagos State has hosted a total of 60 grand finales of Nigeria’s oldest Cup competition, which was known variously in the past as Governor’s Cup, FA Cup, Challenge Cup, and Federation Cup.

This year’s grand finale will see surprise package, Abakaliki FC of Ebonyi State taking on Kwara United FC of Ilorin in the men’s final, while Cup holders Rivers Angels of Port Harcourt will tackle Nasarawa Amazons of Lafia in a much-anticipated women’s final.
