The Nigeria Football Federation Executive Committee has reviewed downwards the registration fees clubs will pay to take part in this year’s Federation Cup competition, reports BSNSports.com.ng.

While the male clubs will part with the sum of N70,000 to be part of this year’s competition, the female clubs will pay only N50,000.

NFF’s Acting Director of Competitions, Ruth David confirmed to thenff.com that the NFF Board opted to review the fees downwards to encourage many more clubs to participate in this year’s competition in both the men’s and women’s categories.

While the registration fees are down, the programme itself is unchanged from what was officially communicated to the Football Association in the 36 States and the FCT.

Registration of Clubs will hold over a fortnight between the 16th – 30th of January, while submission of completed players’ forms for the production of licenses will be done 31st of January – the 6th of February.

This year’s Federation Cup competition in the various States and the FCT will take place between 18th February and 19th March, with the States and the FCT expected to submit the names of their two representatives in the national competition to the NFF by 20th Mof arch.

Dates for the playoff matches, the National Draws and the different stages of the national competition will be determined in due course.
