The recently released pairings for the 2025 President Federation Cup by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) feature some exciting matchups. Six-time winners (1974, 1975, 1976, 1981, 1983, 2018) Rangers International are set to face two-time winners (1953 and 2019) Kano Pillars in the Round of 64.
The 2025 President Federation Cup Round of 64 draw has created the only all-top-flight affair, as league champions Rangers International will face Kano Pillars in the early stages of the competition.
Elsewhere, a giant-killing result could be on the cards, with Nigeria Premier Football League side Plateau United set to clash with surprise packages Ahudiyannem FC. Ahudiyannem, a non-league side, shocked former winners Enyimba in one of the state finals to emerge as champions in Abia.
Reigning champions El Kanemi Warriors will begin their defense of the title with a Round of 64 tie against Simon Ben FC.
In the women's category, top-flight outfits Bayelsa Queens and last year’s finalists Naija Ratels will collide in the Round of 32.
All matches in both the men’s and women’s categories will take place on 19th March 2025 at designated venues.
