The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has officially announced the Mobolaji Johnson Arena in Onikan, Lagos as the venue for the 2025 President Federation Cup final scheduled for Saturday, June 28, 2025.
According to a press release issued by the NFF on Monday, the men's final will feature Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) side Kwara United against Nigeria National League (NNL) outfit Abakaliki FC in what promises to be an exciting clash.
In the women's category, defending champions Rivers Angels will take on Nasarawa Amazons at the same venue, as both teams battle for supremacy in Nigerian women's football.
Continental Qualification at Stake
The stakes are particularly high for the men's competition as the winner will secure Nigeria's ticket to represent the country in the CAF Confederation Cup next season. This adds significant importance to the final as both teams will be eager to clinch continental football.
El-Kanemi Warriors are the current holders of the prestigious trophy, having emerged victorious in last year's competition. However, they will not have the opportunity to defend their title following their elimination earlier in the tournament.
The matchup between Kwara United and Abakaliki FC presents an interesting dynamic, with the NPFL side facing a lower-division challenger that has defied odds to reach the final. Football enthusiasts across Nigeria will be watching closely to see if Abakaliki FC can cause an upset against their more established opponents.
The Mobolaji Johnson Arena, with its rich history and modern facilities, provides a fitting venue for the culmination of Nigeria's oldest football competition.
