Barau FC Secure Historic First Kano State Federation Cup Title with Victory Over Bichi First

Posted : 28 April 2026

Nigeria Premier Football League side Barau FC have made history by winning the 2026 Kano State Federation Cup. The top-flight club secured a hard-fought 3-2 victory over Bichi First at the Sani Abacha Stadium on Monday. This win marks the first time the Maliya Boys have ever lifted the prestigious state trophy.

The final was a highly anticipated contest following Bichi First’s impressive run in the tournament. Bichi First, who compete in the Nigeria National League, gained attention by eliminating local giants Kano Pillars. However, they could not replicate that upset against a determined Barau FC side in the final match.

Barau FC displayed tactical discipline to overcome their lower-league opponents in the five-goal thriller. Both teams showed great attacking intent throughout the ninety minutes of play. The victory solidifies Barau FC’s status as a rising force within the Kano football landscape this season.

Despite the loss, Bichi First earned significant respect for their performance throughout the competition. Their journey to the final included several high-profile victories that shocked football fans in the region. They will now look to carry that momentum into the upcoming national stages of the tournament.

Both Barau FC and Bichi First have now qualified to represent Kano State on the national stage. They will compete in the 2026 President Federation Cup against teams from across Nigeria. Fans are eagerly waiting for the national draw to see who these two representatives will face next.

The Nigeria Football Federation is expected to announce the fixtures for the Round of 64 shortly. This national phase will test the strength of the Kano representatives against diverse opposition. Barau FC enters the national draw with high confidence following their maiden state title success.
