NFF warns states on failure to conclude Federation Cup

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has warned Football Associations in the 36 states of the Federation and the FCT to play their Federation Cup final matches on March 31 as instructed or risk a penalty of N1million.

Ruth David, NFF’s Director of Competitions, said on Monday that the football-ruling body would no longer condone the disruptive attitude of some FAs 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 latest March 31. 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.

“Any state that fails to conclude its championship by Sunday March 31 will be fined the sum of N1million. Any state that fails to conclude its championship before March 30 will be fined the same amount of money.”
