2025 President Federation Cup: Ikorodu City become semi-finalists

Posted : 20 May 2025

Founded in 2022, Ikorodu City—also known as the “Oga Boys”—have taken Nigerian football by storm with their entertaining style, courage, and determination to succeed.


Making their debut in the Nigerian top flight, Ikorodu City have shown great composure, contesting strongly for a continental ticket until their recent setback at Remo Stars, which ended that ambition.


After a poor start that saw them earn just one point from five matches—including two home losses to Enugu Rangers and Nasarawa United—the Oga Boys turned their season around. They are currently fourth on the NPFL table with 56 points from 37 matches.


They have won 16 matches, including two away victories over Katsina United and Lobi Stars, secured two home draws against Remo Stars and Enyimba, and picked up six away draws against Kwara United, Niger Tornadoes, Nasarawa United, 3SC, and El-Kanemi Warriors—scoring an impressive 57 goals in the process.


Their final match of their remarkable debut season is against Abia Warriors on Sunday, May 25.


Compared to the difficult path Abakaliki FC had to navigate to reach the semi-finals, Ikorodu City’s journey seems less strenuous. Their toughest test came in the Round of 16 against Beyond Limits, who had previously knocked out Rivers United in the Round of 32.


Ikorodu City eliminated Sunshine Stars in the Round of 64, edged Crown FC in the Round of 32, then secured a 2-0 victory over Beyond Limits in the Round of 16, followed by a quarter-final win over Wikki Tourists.


Speaking on the semi-final pairing, Ikorodu City FC coach Nurudeen Aweroro said his team is ready to face the giant-killers, Abakaliki FC.


"We can beat them, and we will," he said.
