The fixtures for the men’s and women’s competition in this year’s President Federation Cup have been released following the draw ceremony held on Friday at the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Secretariat in Abuja.
The General Secretary of the NFF, Dr. Mohammed Sanusi, stated that this year’s draw process was consistent with previous editions.
He noted that the structure of the competition would be more straightforward as no team received a bye into the next round.
Dr. Sanusi assured participating teams, officials, and football stakeholders that the country’s oldest and most prestigious football competition would be maintained on a level-playing ground for all the teams.
He emphasised that all regulations guiding the smooth and transparent organisation of the tournament would be strictly upheld.
During the draw, defending champions Kwara United were seeded at number one, while last year’s runners-up, Abakaliki FC, were placed at number 64.
The tournament, as is the tradition, will be played strictly on a knockout basis.
Dr. Sanusi also confirmed that Asaba, the Delta State capital, will host the grand finale of this year’s President Federation Cup competition.
