The 2025 Akwa Ibom State President Federation Cup semi-final is set to deliver high-stakes drama as Eagle Eye Academy and Heavens Race Academy go head-to-head at the Uyo Township Stadium on Thursday, February 20. With a place in the final and a ticket to the national stage on the line, both teams are chasing history.
Eagle Eye Academy enters the showdown in red-hot form, having demolished 7th Wonders Academy 6-0 in the quarter-finals. Their free-flowing attacking football has made them one of the tournament’s most dangerous sides. However, standing in their way is a resilient Heavens Race Academy, who shocked many by eliminating Nigeria National League side Dakkada FC in a dramatic 5-4 penalty shootout after a pulsating 2-2 draw.
Adding extra spice to this encounter is Heavens Race’s previous triumph over Eagle Eye in the 2024 Obong Isong Isang Memorial Academies Championship. That narrow 1-0 victory will give them confidence, but Eagle Eye is determined to settle the score.
For both teams, this is uncharted territory—their first-ever appearance in the semi-finals of the President Federation Cup. A win would not only secure a spot in the final but also guarantee a historic qualification for the prestigious national finals.
The atmosphere at the Uyo Township Stadium is expected to be electric as these young talents battle for glory. With the stakes sky-high, fans can expect an intense and unforgettable contest.
The Other Semi-Final: Defending champions Akwa United FC will take on Godswill Akpabio United FC on Friday, February 21, at the same venue. The winners of both semi-finals will meet in the grand finale on Sunday, February 23, with the top two teams earning the honor of representing Akwa Ibom State at the national finals.
