2019 Federation Cup: Enugu Rangers begin title defence against Tornadoes Feeders

The Nigeria Football Federation conducted the draw for the men’s Round of 64 of the 2019 Federation Cup, with a number of high profile fixtures revealed for May 25.

Enugu Rangers needed a great comeback in the final against Kano Pillars before winning the competition on penalties at the Stephen Keshi Stadium last year. Asaba will start the defence of their title with a Round of 64 tie against Niger Tornadoes Feeders while Kano Pillars have a date with Aspire FC in another fixture.

Shooting Stars will face Osun United for the third time this season while the two Ogun State representatives, Gateway United and Almar will square up to ensure that the state will still present a representative in the Round of 32 while Abia Warriors will slug it out with Heartland Comets in another Oriental Derby.
