EL-KANEMI WARRIORS FC SET TO LOCK HORNS WITH SOKOTO UNITED IN PRESIDENT FEDERATION CUP QUARTER-FINAL

El-Kanemi Warriors FC will face Sokoto United in the quarter-finals of the 2026 President Federation Cup as the battle for a place in the last four intensifies.
The last meeting between both sides dates back five years ago in the final match of the Nigeria National League (NNL) season at the Shehu Kangiwa Stadium, where El-Kanemi Warriors secured a crucial draw that earned them promotion to the Nigeria Premier Football League.

With the quarter-final clash scheduled to take place at the Sani Abacha Stadium in Kano, the Babagana Umara Zulum boys will be hoping to make their experience count. Having spent two seasons playing their home matches in Kano, El-Kanemi Warriors have enjoyed considerable success at the famous Kofar Mata ground and will look to capitalize on that advantage as they chase a semi-final berth in Nigeria's oldest football competition.
