Federation Cup Draw Holds on Friday.

The Draw for the group stage of this year’s Federation Cup competition will hold at the Ekiti Hall, NICON Luxury Hotel, Abuja on Friday, 6th July, 2012. The event will start at 11am.

NFF’s Director of Competitions, Dr. Mohammed Sanusi said on Thursday that all arrangements are in place for a glamorous ceremony that will see the 16 surviving teams shoved into four different groups of four teams each, with the quarter finals to follow, and the semi finals, before the grand finale that is already fixed for Lagos.

Also to be revealed at Friday’s Draw will be the four centres for the group stage matches, as well as the centres for the quarter finals (which may not necessarily be the same as those hosting the group stage) and the venues for the two semi final matches.

Sanusi also confirmed that performances in the past two editions of the Federation Cup competition (2010 and 2011) will go a long way in determining the teams to be seeded for the group stage, which has been scheduled for 16th – 20th July.
