Evans Ogenyi, the technical adviser of Wikki Tourists, has called on his players to deliver a standout performance when they face Bayelsa United in the President Federation Cup. The Round of 32 showdown is set for Monday at the Lafia City Stadium.
Ogenyi emphasized that the competition presents a golden chance for his side to rebuild their morale and chase a trophy. “We need to play the match of our lives on Monday,” he told his squad in a pre-game pep talk on Sunday.
Wikki Tourists, also known as the Bauchi Elephants, suffered relegation to the Nigeria National League (NNL) at the end of the 2025/26 campaign. Meanwhile, their opponents Bayelsa United also endured a difficult NPFL season, finishing among the four clubs that were demoted.
The Prosperity Boys are equally motivated to find success in the cup competition to brighten their season and bring joy to their fans. Both teams see the President Federation Cup as a vital opportunity for redemption.
