NLO Cup Opens With 15 Goals, Two Away Wins

Posted : 18 October 2026

The 2026 Nationwide League One (NLO) Cup began with an entertaining opening day, producing 15 goals across six matches, including two victories for visiting teams.

The opening fixtures, played across the North Central and South West zones, yielded an average of 2.5 goals per match, with all six encounters producing at least one goal.

In Jos, Plateau State, visiting RBM Sports of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) secured a 2-0 victory over Ben Akwuegbu FC to set the pace in the North Central Zone.

The South West Zone witnessed several closely contested encounters, with Bariga Stars sharing the spoils in a 2-2 draw against Seamoriow JNR at Bariga Stadium, Lagos.

At Maracana Stadium, Ajegunle, Greenlock FC delighted their home supporters with a narrow 1-0 victory over SGFC Athletics.

Yewa FCA also claimed maximum points in Ilaro, Ogun, edging Ikonnet FC 2-1 through a late winner.

However, home advantage counted for little in Iwo, Osun, where Telu FC fell 1-0 to visiting ROMS FA.

EKSU Galaticos FA recorded the biggest victory of the opening day in Ado Ekiti, defeating Oba’s FA 3-1 to round off the six-match programme.

Attention now shifts to Sunday’s fixtures as Match Week One continues at venues across the country.

In the North West Zone, Ikon Allah FA of Kaduna State will host Chanji FC of Kano at Nasara Stadium, Zaria.

In the FCT, Paul E FC will face City FC at the Area 3 Pitch, while Young Kogites FC welcome Bussdor FC at the ASCO Camp in Ajaokuta, Kogi State.

The opening results have set an encouraging tone for the competition, with teams expected to sustain their attacking intent as the tournament progresses.
