NFF warns states to conclude Federation Cup or risky hefty penalty
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has warned the 36 Football Associations and FCT to play their Federation Cup final matches on either Saturday, March 30 or Sunday, March 31 or risk a penalty of N1m.
NFF’s director of competitions, Ruth David stated that the football house will no longer condone the disruptive attitude of some FA’s who set their own timetables outside that of the NFF.
“The NFF has stated clearly in the schedule from the beginning, that the States must play their final matches either on Saturday, 30th March or Sunday, 31st March. We have also reminded the States again about this schedule, and any State that fails to abide by the dates will have itself to blame,” David told thenff.com.
“Any State that fails to conclude its championship by Sunday, 31st March will be fined the sum of N1m. Any State that concludes its championship before Saturday, 30th March will be fined the same amount of money.”
The 2024 Federation Cup competition started across the states on Friday, March 1st.
Bendel Insurance won the Federation Cup title last season.
