The MKO Abiola Stadium, Abeokuta will be agog on Sunday, 31st March 2024 when the grand finale of the state FA Cup takes centre stage.
The first port of call on the day will be the Women's final between Remo Stars Ladies and Castmog Football Club starting from noon.
It will then be an affair of Nigeria National League (NNL) campaigners in the Men's final when Beyond Limit Football Academy lock horns with Stormers Sports Club starting from 3pm.
On their way to the final, last season's finalists Beyond Limit Football Academy accounted for Premier League team Remo Stars via penalty shootout after the game finished a goal apiece in regulation time.
Beyond Limit who also got the better of Remo Stars in their last meeting in the Cup competition have now defeated the Sky Blue Stars consecutively in the State FA Cup.
For first time finalists Stormers Sports Club, they thrashed Ijebu United 4-0 in their semi final game in a scintillating fashion to qualify for the National Federation Cup for the first time in the Club's history.
Now tutored by Coach Saburi Omoyayi, a former player of Shooting Stars and the longest serving captain of Gateway United, Stormers Sports Club are gunning for their first piece of silverware against Beyond Limit FA that recently became the first African team to win the Viareggio Cup in Italy.
The two teams are already assured of featuring in the National Federation Cup which will get underway later in the year.
