Meanwhile, Consultant and coordinator of the 1XBET Cup, Waidi Akanni, has commended the group A teams for giving a good account of themselves, noting that they have been part of the history of the 1XBet Cup, which is meant for non league players.
He also urged Fackson to prepare well for the final of the conference, as they will be taking on Group B champions in a winner-takes-all game.
He said five teams, that win the conferences, will proceed to the quarter final, while three best losers will also proceed to the last eight.
"The sponsor are excited with the progress the competition is making. They are equally grateful to the teams for playing by the rules of the competition and avoiding rancour," Akanni added.
