Clubs from the Nigeria National League (NNL) have been encouraged by NNL Chairman Mr. George Aluo to strive for a spot in the quarterfinals of the 2026 President Federation Cup.
The National League has advanced four teams to the quarterfinals. The teams in question are Basira FC, Kada Warriors, Sokoto United, and Adamawa United.
The venue for the encounter between Wikki Tourists and Kada Warriors is the Abuja Area 3 Stadium. On Saturday, June 6, 2026, all of the matches will take place.
Bringing up the impressive performance of lower-tier teams in previous editions, Aluo pushed the teams to perform well.
“It’s a sign of the quality of the second-tier league that, like the last three seasons, four NNL sides are in the Round of 16 of this year’s President Federation Cup,” Aluo was cited as saying by Newstap.
“I hope they keep the momentum going and give it their all in Saturday’s matches.”
Last year, Footynaija mentioned that the NNL team Abakaliki FC made it all the way to the championship game.
