A Federation Cup ‘final-before-final’ duel holds in Uyo today

What could have been a dream Federation Cup final match holds today as a Round of 64 duel as record eight-time Nigerian league champions, Enyimba take on reigning champions, Rivers United at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium, Uyo.

This is just one of the 32 matches of the national cup slated for today. In essence, one of the lead and glamorous Nigerian clubs must be eliminated.

That is not the only crunch match of the series that involves 16 of the 20 Nigerian Premier League clubs.

Similarly, another Premier League side will crash out following the match-up of Akwa United and Wikki Tourists.

That is in addition to any other possible upset that could see the further depletion of the top ranked clubs as the Federation Cup progresses to the title match.

In the process, the lack of glamour that has seen the shines taken off the previously known Challenge Cup competition wil continue.
