2018 Aiteo Federation cup finals promise to be a gum shot classico between two NPFL teams that pride themselves to have the largest fans following in Nigeria. If 2016 NPFL final day match between Rangers and Kastina United is anything to go by, then Stephen Keshi Stadium management should be ready to host the largest fans. Since, Enugu is just few miles away, it may seem like Rangers is playing at home.
Already, the Aiteo cup finals has started generating a lot of talking point on social media since both teams qualified. Kano Pillars fans are saying they are coming to Asaba with 5 trialer load of fans to match Rangers fans capacity.
The hypes this upcoming finals is already generating is all good for the sponsors. It's not just about the trophy but the continental ticket to play Caf Confederations cup is also at stake. Kano pillars fans believe their darling team has a better quality and capacity to represent Nigeria.
Kano Pillars defeated Kastina United on penalty shoot out 4 - 3 after a one all draw as old war horse, Rabiu Ali and Gabo Mohammed are even getting better with aging And Kano Pillars believe experience will make all the difference in the cup finals penultimately.
Indeed, Rangers are looking good to win this year's Federations cup with the way they are going.
Rangers came from 0 - 2 deficit to defeat Nasarawa United 4 - 2 at the semi finals match. Another come-back moves after the coal city boys did same at the Quarter final stage...knocked out Akwa united on penalty shoot out.
Two great clubs. It is sure to be classic. Although I want Rangers to win, Kano pillars is a force any day,any time.
