Sanwo‑Olu & Gbajabiamila to Attend President Federation Cup Final in Lagos An impressive roll‑call of dignitaries is set for this Saturday's President Federation Cup finals at Lagos’s Mobolaji Johnson Arena. Among those confirmed are Lagos State Governor AbdulRahman Abdulrazaq, Nasarawa State’s Abdullahi Sule, and the Sole Administrator of Rivers State, Vice‑Admiral Ibok‑Ete Ekwe Ibas. Also attending will be Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, Chief of Staff to the President, along with Seyi Tinubu and Anthony Adeyinka Adeboye, the President’s SSA on Grassroots Sports. A host of Nollywood and music stars, plus high-ranking officials from the Nigeria Football Federation, Lagos State Sports Commission and Lagos FA, have also confirmed their presence. The historic Mobolaji Johnson Arena, site of the inaugural Cup final in 1945, will host the women’s final at 1 pm Rivers Angels vs Nasarawa Amazons and the men’s final at 4 pm Abakaliki FC vs Kwara United. Gov. Sanwo‑Olu will oversee the honouring of Pa Biliaminu Thanni, the oldest surviving Federation Cup winner and a revered figure in Nigerian football since the stadium first staged the final under its original name, King George V Stadium. Editorial We see this showcase as more than a matchday it’s a celebration of Nigerian unity, talent and heritage. The presence of prominent figures like Sanwo‑Olu, Gbajabiamila and other governors underscores football’s power to unite across political divides. We believe their attendance sends a clear message the President Federation Cup remains Nigeria’s premier knockout competition, rooted in tradition and community pride. Honouring a legend like Pa Thanni cements this legacy, bridging multiple generations of footballers and fans. We view the inclusion of celebrities and grassroots officials as critical to raising the profile of Nigerian women’s football.
