All is now set for the last four encounter in this year’s President Federation Cup involving Kano Pillars and Abia Warriors from Umuahia in Abia State
The tie will hold at Lafia Township Stadium in Nassarawa State on Thursday the 20th of this month
The game is expected to be explosive as all the sides are dearly in need of the cup so as to guard against being trophyless this season
Pillars who eliminated Sunshine Stars to scale through to the final four, are eagerly waiting for the day with a view to paying the Abia State based team back going by how they defeated them in the League both at home and away coincidentally by alone goal
Thus,caretaker Coach Ahmed Garba Yaro Yaro, has to remain calm and focus so as to emerge victorious in the game despite the fact they were described as the favourites to lift the trophy
This became necessary going by how the team”s attackers have been squandering goal chances in their previous matches in both the premier League and the President Federation Cup which almost out the club in dilemma
In the other duel which will be on Thursday 20th of this month will feature former winners Elkanemi Warriors who won promotion back to elite class after some years sojourn in the lower cadre, play dark horses Kebbi United at Abuja the Federal capital in an all northern affair encounter
Winners of the matches will fight it out at MKO Abiola National Stadium Abuja in the final on the twenty ninth of this month to determine who lift the trophy for this soccer season
President Federation Cup formerly known as Challenge Cup is the oldest football competition countrywide where local teams surprised big sides
