President Federation Cup: Bayelsa United target redemption after NPFL relegation

Bayelsa United manager Tarila Okoronwanta expressed confidence that the team can still make a significant impact in the 2026 President Federation Cup.

The Prosperity Boys are set to meet Wikki Tourists in the Round of 32.

The match will be held at Lafia City Stadium in Lafia next week.

Okoronwanta said the club’s season is not over, even after their relegation from the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL).

“Well, let’s wait and see. It is not completely over for us yet. We are still in the Federation Cup Round of 32 and will face Wikki Tourists in Lafia. Anything can still happen,” Okoronwanta told Completesports.

“Who knows, the President Federation Cup could provide a window of relief for us as a team.”

The tournament’s winner will earn a spot in next season’s CAF Confederation Cup.
