Rivers United Advances in Federation Cup Amid Fan Absence
Rivers United has been granted a bye to the quarter-finals of the Nigerian Federation Cup, where they will face the winner of the first-round clash between Star FC and Reign FC. The quarter-final matches are scheduled for Thursday, April 16.
In the lead-up to this, Plateau United's coach, Gbenga Ogunbote, lamented the lack of home support during their recent match against Ikorodu City, which they won 4-1 at Lafia City Stadium. Ogunbote noted that the atmosphere felt different without the usual support from fans, which he believes plays a crucial role in their performance.
The semi-finals are set for April 20-21, with the men's final scheduled to kick off at 3 PM on April 25 at the Shark Stadium, Adokiy Amiesimaka Stadium in Port Harcourt. Ogunbote's comments highlight the importance of fan presence in enhancing team morale and performance.
