2025 President Federation Cup: NFF clears air on Bayelsa United protest against Nasarawa United

Posted : 20 April 2025

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has debunked insinuations that it is unjustly protecting Nasarawa United FC in a petition filed by Bayelsa United FC over the two teams' Round of 16 clash in the 2025 President Federation Cup competition.


The encounter, which was played in Anyigba, Kogi State, on Wednesday, 16th April, saw the Prosperity Boys lose 4-5 on penalties to the Solid Miners after regulation time ended 1-1.


Bayelsa United promptly sent a protest letter to the NFF, dated the same day, contesting the eligibility of five players of Nasarawa United FC.


In its response, the NFF stated that the five players listed by Bayelsa United FC—Detan Ogundare, Emeka Onyema, Ogochukwu Leonard, Solomon Chigozie, and Benjamin Jack—were duly registered by Nasarawa United FC for the 2025 President Federation Cup competition.


"After thorough examination of your claims, our findings are as follows:


The five (5) players listed above are part of the submitted list of Nasarawa United Football Club for registration for the 2025 President Federation Cup (as contained and highlighted in the attached list).


The said five (5) players were duly registered and issued player licenses by the Nigeria Football Federation to participate in the 2025 President Federation Cup for Nasarawa United Football Club.


"Therefore, your protest lacks substance and merit, and thus did not succeed."
