The Bwari Stadium in Abuja is set to become a hub of intense football action as JNR Danburan takes on Lapai FA in the highly anticipated 2025 edition of the MTN NLO Cup.
Over the next four days, eight fierce Nationwide League One (NLO) teams will compete for ultimate bragging rights and the prestigious MTN/NLO Cup, proudly sponsored by telecommunications giant MTN.
In the previous edition, Tudun Wada FC dominated the competition, emphatically defeating Palm Syrup 7-2 to secure the title.
This year, Dante FC aims to assert its dominance as it looks to outmaneuver seven rivals: Galadima FC, HB FC, JNR Danburan FC, Lapai FA, Likeminds FC, Simoiben FC, and SI14 FC, all vying for the tournament’s grand prize.
Olushola Ogunnowo, Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Africa’s largest grassroots football league, expressed confidence in a successful competition in Abuja.
“We have taken all necessary measures to ensure the successful hosting of the MTN NLO Cup, a key event on the Nationwide League One calendar.
“The teams carefully selected by both the sponsor and the Secretariat will certainly demonstrate what NLO is capable of, particularly its track record of developing players for national teams at all levels.
“With our technology-driven operations and state-of-the-art equipment, the organization will continue to be one of the best in the world of grassroots football. NLO is committed to laying a strong foundation for football development in Nigeria,” he said.
