The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has unveiled the fixtures for the men’s and women’s competitions of this year’s President Federation Cup, following a draw ceremony held at the NFF Secretariat in Abuja.
Speaking at the event, NFF General Secretary, Dr. Mohammed Sanusi, emphasized that the draw process was consistent with previous editions and highlighted that no team received a bye into the next round.
