It is going to be the battle of the Warriors on Saturday, June 29, 2024, at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium, Abuja where El Kanemi Warriors of Maiduguri and Abia Warriors of Aba will battle for the oldest cup in Nigeria and the winner picks the ticket to represent Nigeria at the 2024/2025 CAF Confederation Cup.
Abia Warriors sailed into the final after defeating Kano Pillars by 4-3 during a penalty shootout after a goalless situation in 90 minutes of regulation time. Former winners, El-Kanemi Warriors, also triumphed after a 5-4 penalty shootout over surprise semi-finalists Kebbi United at the NFF/FIFA Goal Project in Abuja after both teams laboured to a 0-0 scoreline after 90 minutes.
In the shootouts, Pillars’ forward, Ibrahim Mustapha, created the need for Abia Warriors to take their last kick after missing his team’s last kick. Pillars missed two of their five kicks while Abia Warriors converted all their four kicks.
In Abuja, hard-fighting Kebbi United missed their second kick in the shootout, while El-Kanemi Warriors converted all their five thus setting what promises to be a mouth-watering final in Abuja in the next nine days.
