The Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, has confirmed venues and dates for this year’s President Federation Cup Round of 64 fixtures scheduled for 1st and 2nd May 2024.
Participating clubs were notified of the confirmation via a letter from the NFF who also copied the State FA Secretaries.
Abuja, Kaduna, Owerri, Lafia, Awka, Enugu, Benin City, Ibadan, Asaba, Ilorin, Aba and Kano are the centres to host the 32 matches, which will then produce the candidate-teams for the Round of 32.
Defending champions Bendel Insurance will take on Stormers FC of Abeokuta at the Area 3 Football Pitch, Abuja, on 1st May while the standout fixture of the round between Kano Pillars and Rangers will also hold in Abuja on May 2nd.
The women’s teams, whose competition will take off at the Round of 32, will sit out next week’s hostilities, but will take to battlegrounds when the men are also fighting for slots in the Round of 16.
