Abakaliki FC Gear Up for Giant-Killing Act in Federation Cup Showdown Against Nasarawa United
Fresh from their stunning upset over Enyimba, Abakaliki FC are brimming with confidence as they head into a high-stakes quarter-final clash against Nasarawa United in the ongoing President Federation Cup.
Set to take place this Saturday at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin City, the Rice Boys believe they are more than ready to punch above their weight yet again.

Speaking to TalkTalk Nigeria, media officer Chukwuma Ogbonna declared that the club is fired up for a historic result:
“We are set for victory like never before against Nasarawa United. It is a must-win game for us. We are going to approach the match with a top-flight standard.”
🌾 Underdogs with a Bite
Abakaliki FC, often overlooked, have emerged as one of the Cinderella stories of this year’s competition. Their elimination of Enyimba—one of Nigeria’s most decorated clubs—sent shockwaves through the football community and solidified their growing reputation as giant-slayers.
💭 Opinion: Is Abakaliki FC the New Heartbeat of Grassroots Football?
What sets this team apart is not just the hunger to win but the bold confidence in their journey. From local underdogs to potential semi-finalists, Abakaliki FC represent what the Federation Cup is all about—dreams, passion, and proving doubters wrong.
Against Nasarawa United, they may not have the big names, but they have something arguably more potent: momentum, belief, and the nation’s attention.
Whether they can carry that energy past Saturday’s test remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: this isn’t the same team anyone can afford to overlook anymore.
