Wikki Tourists football club has won the Bauchi State Federation Cup for the second consecutive year, defeating Warinje FC 1-0 in the final at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Stadium, Bauchi.

The closely contested match saw both teams create chances in the first half, but neither could score.

Despite tactical substitutions by Wikki Tourists in the second half, the deadlock remained until the 82nd minute.

John Taiwo scored the winning goal for Wikki Tourists, dribbling past the Warinje FC defence and scoring with a low shot.

“It was a tough game, but we achieved the result we wanted,” said Abdu Maikaba, Wikki Tourists’ head coach.

“This is the Challenge Cup, where smaller teams can challenge bigger ones, and Warinje FC gave us a good fight; however, their effort was not enough to stop us. We are grateful to Allah for this victory.”

Bauchi FA Chairman, Mr. Pascal Patrick, presented the trophy to Wikki Tourists FC.
