Logistics force Wikki out of Gold Cup

Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) side, Wikki Tourists Football Club has pulled out of the 4th edition of Gold Cup Pre-season Tournament which will begin today November 25 in Ijebu Ode at the Otunba Dipo Dina International Stadium.

The Bauchi-based club who recently replaced Nigeria National League (NNL) outfit, Supreme Court FC withdrew from the Gold Cup tourney due to logistics reasons.

“Every disappointment is a blessing in disguise. But I must be sincere that I felt disappointed because I would have replaced them with an ambitious NPFL side.”

“Coach Babaganaru called me and apologised but that won’t affect the smooth run of the tournament that I can assure as we’ve replaced them with another team already,” Tunde Shamsudeen, the tournament coordinator told Gold Cup Media.
