The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC,
Football Club will on Saturday, February 22, 2025 battle Family
Worship Center, FWC Football Club of Abuja in the final
encounter of FCT President’s Cup.
The four
times champions and the current cup holders, EFCC
FC earned a semi-final victory over Galadima FC when Striker Obinna
Uchechukwu scored in the 64th minute to seal victory at
1-0 on Monday, February 17, 2024.
Speaking on his expectations for the Saturday’s game,
EFCC FC Coach, Kabiru Adeyemi stated that his target was to retain the
trophy as his eyes were fixed on qualifying for the CAF Confederation Cup
through the national finals.
“This isn’t my first time of
playing in this tournament and this will be my sixth final with EFCC
FC of Abuja, so I can say one way or the other, I’ve known the rudiments
of the FA CUP, but I give glory to the Almighty because there is one thing in
FA Cup, which is don’t underrate any team. If you try it, you’ll be
embarrassed. I saw what they did to Milantarki Care FC at the quarterfinal
stage and that was why I needed to psyche my players up. We need to
add more tempo and intensity to our training so that we can withstand them.
They are a young team with nothing to lose if we beat them. We are the
bigger team, so we need to prove ourselves by winning the
game," he said.
Speaking further, he said, “Our fans should be
expecting the trophy. We are the defending champions. Even my management,
that’s what they need. Last year we were able to play up to the
quarterfinals in the national FA Cup, this year we’re hoping to represent FCT
at the continental level.”
The match, scheduled to be played on
Saturday will kick off by 3pm at the FCT Sports Complex,
Area 3, Garki, Abuja.
