Akwa United and Algon Boys to conclude abandoned Federation Cup tie

Two time Federation Cup champions Akwa United will have another chance to salvage their fading hope of missing out on the national competition when they meet Algon Boys on Friday morning.

The Promise Keepers won the national Federation Cup competition in 2015 and 2017 and represented Nigeria in the Caf Confederation Cup on both occasions in 2016 and 2018 by virtue of their victory over Lobi Stars and Niger Tornadoes in both finals respectively.

They are on the verge of not even qualifying as the representatives of their Akwa Ibom State after they trail 3-0 from the first time the game was played on Wednesday at the Nest of Champions Stadium, Uyo.
