The draw for the first round matches of the AITEO Cup (Federation Cup) will be held in Lagos on Friday, Completesportsnigeria.com reports.
According to a media statement from the media department of the Nigeria Football Federation, the first round matches involving 64 teams from the Preliminary Round played last week, will kick off next Wednesday.
NFF General Secretary, Dr. Mohammed Sanusi, who is also secretary of the Organizing Committee, explained to Thenff.com that the games would not go into penalties as has been the case over the years.
“From the first round stage, teams will be designated A and B," Sanusi explained.
"Team A will have the prerogative to choose the centre for the match against Team B, from the pool of designated centres. If the match ends in a draw, Team B will now have the prerogative to pick a venue from the designated centres as its ‘home’ for the replay."
