The Anambra FA Chairman Gen Chikelue Iloenyosi has charged both teams representing the state at the National level to bear witness to the state both on and off the pitch as the President Federation Cup gets to round of 64. Solution FC and Edel FC are in action Wednesday and Thursday.
The Capacity Chairman made this known when he visited Solution FC in their team hotel in Benin as the Solution boys get set to tackle Shooting Stars of Ibadan for a place in round 32.
He reminded them of the importance of Cup competitions as he insisted that in football anything is possible is more evident in Cup competitions.
“Good to be with you all this morning. I made the trip from Abuja to Benin to be with you guys for this important match. Like we say in football, anything is possible, it is more evident in competitions like this. If you believe, trust me you can. Be professional off and on the pitch. We at the Anambra FA are rooting for you and Edel FC to go far in this competition. We expect you guys to be worthy ambassadors of the state. I wish you everyone one of us good luck. Go and make us proud.”
The respected football administrator put a call through to Edel FC who are already in Abuja for their game tomorrow to wish them well as well. With the support of the FA, expectations are high that the two clubs sides will go far in the most prestigious cup competition in Nigeria.
Solution FC winner of the state FA cup will take on traditional powerhouse and multiple time winner of the competition Shooting Stars of Ibadan today at the Samuel Ogbemudia stadium. While Edel FC will take on Discovery Talent Academy of Birnin-Kebbi on Thursday at the FIFA goal project Abuja. All for a ticket to round 32 of the Federation Cup.
