The registration for the 2022 edition of the country’s most glamorous football championship, AITEO Federation Cup competition, will on Sunday, May 1, kick off nationwide.

In a circular, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) directed football associations in the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory to take charge of registration of teams that will compete in this year’s AITEO Federation Cup competition.

The NFF also stated that the registration will last for 13 days with the submission of copies of completed players’ licences to the NFF which must be done by Saturday, May 14.

The NFF further directed that the competition in the states to select two representatives for the national competition will be  held between May 15 and June 15.

The NFF’s Competitions Department expects to have the names of each state’s two flag bearers for the national competition by June 15.

Meanwhile, Nigeria is among the very few countries with all-encompassing interests as the draw ceremonies for this year’s Women Africa Cup of Nations and the qualification series for next year’s African Nations Championship is held in Morocco on Friday.

The Mohamed VI Complex in the North African kingdom has been scheduled to host the glamour event, which will bundle the 12 teams qualified for the 12th Women Africa Cup of Nations into three groups of four teams each, and also divide the teams entered for the 7th African Nations Championship into pools for the qualification series.
