The reigning Federation Cup champions, Bendel Insurance FC, kick off their title defense on Wednesday against Stormers SC from Ogun State.

The match is part of the round of 64 and will be played at the Old Parade Ground in Abuja at 4:00 PM.

Bendel Insurance secured their fourth FA Cup title in 2023 with a 1-0 victory over Enugu Rangers. This year, their journey starts against a familiar foe – Stormers SC.

When the two sides met back in the 2021-2022 Nigeria National League season, Insurance dominated both encounters, winning 1-0 at home and 2-0 away.

The same venue will also host Ine Stars' match against Kebbi United at 1:00 PM. Ine Stars earned their spot in the round of 64 with a 2-0 victory over Crusaders FC earlier this month.

A win for Bendel Insurance will propel them to the round of 32, keeping their title defense alive.
