Federation Cup President: Battle Rangers insurance in the Lagos promenade

Abuja (Core reporter) former Champions League Insurance and Enugu Rangers will illuminate the Lagos promenade on Wednesday in what is undoubtedly the star match of the round 16 of the male competition of the President Federation Cup this year.

The two teams were involved in two of the most memorable final games of the Nigeria Cup competition in its 80 -year history, with honors shared in 1978 and 1981.

Benin’s arsenal made the shape of the form books to shock the football fraternity of the nation by sparkling the 3-0 rangers in the Lagos final in 1978, but the flying antelopes have somehow reimbursed the compliment with a 2-0 victory in the same headquarters of 1981.

The setting for this round of 16 clashes is also in Lagos, although a different place. But the fireworks are planned by the promenade of two teams that aspire to continental football.

The two-time winners of the Caf Champions League Elyimba FC, who have eliminated the owners of the El-Kanemi Warriors Cup in the round of 32, will face Abakaliki FC at the Stephen Keshi stadium in Asaba.

Nasarawa United and Bayelsa United will like each other in the university city of Anyigba, while Warri Wolves and Wikki Tourists fight things in the federal capital, Abuja.

Two big entertainers, Ikorodu City and Beyond Limits will be the mutual jugular at Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in the city of Benin, where Solution FC will make Tango with Kwara United in a previous game. Plateau United will face Osun United in Anyigba. While, Akwa United and Inter Lagos are at the abuja logger heads.
