Kwara United Clinch CAF Confederation Cup Berth with 4 - 3 Shootout Win in Lagos Final

Date: 2025-06-28

Kwara United have claimed their first President's Federation Cup title after defeating Abakaliki FC 4–3 on penalties following a goalless 90 minutes at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena, Lagos, on Saturday.

The Afonja Warriors overcame an early missed penalty to convert their next four spot-kicks, securing a historic victory that qualifies them for the 2026 CAF Confederation Cup .

Abakaliki FC, a lower-tier side from Ebonyi State, staged a remarkable run to the final, toppling multiple top-flight teams in a fairytale campaign that captivated Nigerian football fans.

The match ended 0–0 after extra time, with neither side breaking the deadlock despite intense efforts.
