For the second successive year, the Mobolaji Johnson Arena, Lagos, will host the grand finale of the President’s Federation Cup competition, which is scheduled for Saturday, 28th June, Bold Sports reports.
The compact but dainty facility by the waterfront hosted last year’s grand finale, in which El-Kanemi Warriors defeated Abia Warriors to emerge winners of the men’s competition while Rivers Angels edged Naija Ratels 1-0 in the women’s version.
The Mobolaji Johnson Arena is also the site of the former King George V Stadium, which was later renamed Lagos City Stadium, and later known as Onikan Stadium.
Lagos State has hosted a total of 60 grand finales of Nigeria’s oldest Cup competition, which was known variously in the past as Governor’s Cup, FA Cup, Challenge Cup and Federation Cup.
