Editorial
We appreciate the NFF’s clarity on ticket pricing: ₦200 for general admission and ₦2,000 for VIP creates accessibility while offering premium options a balanced approach reflecting the tournament’s inclusive spirit.
We believe this year’s schedule from state finals to the national draw, followed by staged knockout rounds demonstrates strategic planning. It heightens anticipation and ensures regional representation, making every match count.
We acknowledge the historic context: Kwara United aim to end a 49‑year wait since a team from the state last featured in the final, while Abakaliki FC from the NNL defy the odds. In the women’s section, defending champions Rivers Angels face a formidable Nasarawa Amazons a clash that speaks to growing parity.
We feel the continental reward adds meaningful incentive. Qualification to the CAF Confederation Cup will not just boost club prestige it offers financial support, international exposure, and a step forward in raising the standard of Nigerian club football.
We encourage fans to seize the opportunity. Attending the finals isn’t just about watching football—it’s about supporting national development, celebrating grassroots achievement, and backing Nigeria’s journey on the continental stage.
