This tournament which promises to be the biggest preseason tournament this season will feature eight NPFL clubs and should be a fitting cutting drawer to clubs’ preseason activities before the 2020/21 NPFL season kicks off.
Thirteen teams are slated to feature in this edition. They are defending champions, Lobi Stars, Enyimba, Rivers United, Rangers, Heartland, FC IfeanyiUbah, Warri Wolves, Abia Warriors, Apex Krane, Ingass FC, J. Atete, Ifeanyi Ekwueme Football Academy, and PXEL Football Academy.
