The 'boys' have been separated from the 'men' in the Cup race with the stage now left for those with the big heart.

Solution FC are defending champions and even more experienced. No doubt, they are the top favourites for this singular ticket for the final.

But minnows no longer exist in the game especially in the Cup contest. Everyone has his eyes on Chief Poly Emenike, Odenigbo Nanka's big cash of N2m champions star prize.

Tomorrow, 19 February, the second semi final showdown will take center stage with 2023 champions, Ozalla Football Academy, locking horns with Edel FC, a Nigeria domestic league second tier side.

It hasn't been a smooth campaign for Edel FC this term but the arrival of experienced gaffer, Hamza Abdulazeez Abara last week may begin to steady their ship.

But Ozalla FA respects no foes as the academy youngsters always fight till the last drop of their blood in every single game.

The final of the NEROS/ANSFA Cup 2025 will hold on Saturday, 23-24 February, 2025. Runners-up will be rewarded with N1m while third place winner goes home with N500, 000.
