President Federation Cup: El-Kanemi Warriors claim fourth title with win over Ikorodu City

El-Kanemi Warriors claimed the President Federation Cup after a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Ikorodu City in Asaba on Saturday.

Muktar Ismail scored the decisive goal from the penalty spot in the 13th minute.

It was El-Kanemi Warriors’ second President Federation Cup title in the last  three years.

The Maiduguri club have now won Nigeria’s oldest football competition four times.

The Borno Army will compete in the CAF Confederation Cup next season alongside Shooting Stars.

It was disappointing end to the season for Ikorodu City, who also  missed out on a continental ticket in the Nigeria Premier Football League, NPFL, on the final day of the season.
