The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has picked four venues for the Sunday’s quarter-final matches for 2023 men’s edition of NFF/TINGO Federation Cup competition.
The host cities are Awka, Ijebu-Ode, Abuja and Akure, with all eight teams eyeing tickets to the semi-finals.
Six-time winners, Nigerian FA Cup (1974, 1975, 1976, 1981, 1983, and 2018), Rangers International FC of Enugu, will be up against giant-killers, Doma United of Gombe in what promises to be an entertaining afternoon at the Akure Township Stadium.
In-form Bendel Insurance, who defeated Heartland FC by a lone goal in the Round of 16, will have their hands full against Sunshine Stars of Akure, victors over EFCC FC of Abuja, when both clash at the Awka Township Stadium.
Plateau United from Jos are up against Kwara United of Ilorin, who bumped Nasarawa United in the Round of 16, with both teams set to go for each other’s jugular at the Area 3 playing field in the Federal Capital, Abuja.
Lobi Stars, 3-1 winners over Bendel Insurance Feeders in a match that was played over two days due to heavy downpour on the first day, will next try Warri Wolves, who sent packing Gombe United, for size. Venue is the Otunba Dipo Dina International Stadium in Ijebu-Ode.
