Traditional champions Pillars Football Club will this afternoon test the strength of professional league side Barau Football Club in the final of President Federation Cup.
The match will be held at Sani Abacha Stadium in the metropolitan.
Pillars who have been the winners for decades would not allow this year’s edition to slip out from their hand although having qualified for the final it accord them the ticket of representing the state at the national edition of the annual event.
But emerging champions of the oldest competition in the country will be more pleasing for both the players Coaching staffers,the management as well as the fanbase who are always with the team in either thick or thn.
Thus,the engagement will be explosive as Coach Rabiu Tata of the Barau team will definitely do his best so as to grab the match in view of its importance for the soccer babies.
As we await what will happen as the game is some hours away,the pressure will heavily lie on the caretaker technical crew of Sai Masu Gida under Yaro Yaro Zagalo who last week earned an away point against Sunshine of Akure in continuation of the country’s top flight.
Speaking on the match , the Technical Adviser of the pro league side Rabiu Tata said they would be at the Stadium not to make up the numbers but rather real business.
He pointed out that they would do their utmost to spring surprise as football is unpredictable despite the fact that they respect the Pyramid City Lads in view of their reach record in the round leather game but this will not deter them from coming out seriously to battle with them even to beat them hands down as there is no minor or mighty in football
The Tactician however prayed for good officiating and for both teams and their lovers, to uphold the spirit of sportsmanship so as to prove cynics wrong.
