After picking one of the 2023/24 Nigeria National League Super 8 playoff tickets, Nasarawa United Football Club have turned focus to the 2024 President’s Federation Cup.
The team had a rigorous training exercise on Wednesday morning at the Lafia City Stadium preparatory for the Round of 32 clash against fellow NNL24 Super 8 counterparts, Sokoto United, at the Sani Abacha Stadium, Kano, on Wednesday, May 22, 2024, by 4pm.
Captain of the team, King Osanga, told the club’s media that the team is battle-ready to face any opposition in the oldest single knockout inter-club competition in Nigeria.
“To the glory of God, we have been able to cross one hurdle enroute to the elite domestic football league in Nigeria by picking the Super 8 playoff ticket, and waiting for the second and last phase of the competition to kick-start.
“A week-and-a -half ago, we kick-started the 2024 President Federation Cup competition where we defeated FC Bako by a lone goal in the round of 64 in Kaduna.
“Now, we are shifting our attention to the Round of 32 tie versus Sokoto United in a few weeks to come.
“As you can see, we are training ahead of the match in Kano, and we hope to make progress to the next phase of the competition.
“We will approach the game with all our arsenal because every game is important, regardless of the opponents.”
The former Nigerian junior international, however, dispelled a few rumours that have been spreading recently across the cyberspace that the team’s players embarked on a strike, demanding for their entitlements.
