Prepare for an explosive showdown as Abia Warriors face off against El-Kanemi Warriors this Saturday in Lagos. Ambitious Abia Warriors were the first of the four finalists in the 2024 President Federation Cup to arrive in Lagos. Coach Bethel Orji is confident that his team will shine at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena.
“We are here and highly motivated. We are all elated. I thank God for the turnaround in the team’s fortunes, and I am delighted to be playing my first Cup final as a coach,” Orji shared with thenff.com on Wednesday.
A former Cup winner and great player, Bethel Orji will rely on forwards Samson Obi and Sunday Megwo for precision when Abia Warriors take on the two-time champions by the Lagos Waterfront on Saturday evening.
El-Kanemi Warriors’ Technical Adviser, Aliyu Zubairu, attributed his team’s progress to hard work and believes this will lead them to their third Nigeria Cup title on Saturday.
“Hard work has been our mainstay. Everyone works for the other, including the players on the pitch. It was a tough league season, and our main objective was to gain promotion back to the NPFL. However, after the Round of 16, we realized that with more hard work, we could reach the final.
“I commend the players for ensuring promotion back to the top flight and reaching the President Federation Cup final. Yet, it is not over until it is over. We are here and determined to win the title. We have had some days to rest and are going to work hard to deliver the trophy to our number one supporter, Governor Babagana Umaru Zulum.”
