Bendel Insurance Win Federation Cup, End 28 Years Trophy Drought
Bendel Insurance has emerged winner of Nigeria’s oldest soccer competition, the Federation Cup, after they pipped Enugu Rangers 1-0 at the Stephen Keshi Stadium, Asaba, Delta state.
Imade Osarenkhoe’s lone goal, converted from the spot at the death of the first half, gave the Edo state team their fourth Federation Cup, which they won last in 1980.
They won the title (formerly known as the Challenge Cup) in 1972, 1978, and 1980, and 15 years later, in 1995 precisely, they won the West African Football Club Championship.
Bendel Insurance will receive the prize money and would also be representing Nigeria in the CAF Confederation Cup next season.
