All is set for this year’s President Cup finals as Sporting Supreme U-19, Sporting Supreme FC, Naija Ratels, and NAF Queen slug it out in the male and female categories, respectively.

The finals, which promise to be exciting, colourful and eventful, will hold at the Area 3 Football Pitch, Abuja, on Saturday, 25th April, 2026, and will be attended by high-profile football administrators, key stakeholders and enthusiasts, including the FCT FA chairman, Alhaji Adam Mouktar Muhammed and his board members.

Speaking about the preparation for the final, Mouktar said, “We want to assure football fans in the FCT that the tournament will exceed their expectations.

“It surely promises to be exciting and rewarding for participating clubs and the fans. Everyone should watch out for a great competition.”
