FC Ifeanyi Ubah shift trophy parade to November 23



By Rasaq Oboirien
FEDERATION Cup champions, FC Ifeanyi Ubah has moved its trophy tour billed for Anambra State to November 23, reports NaijaSportsXtra.blogspot.com.
In a statement on Tuesday, the Anambra Warriors who had planned the victory parade for tomorrow (Wednesday 16th November), informed, we wish to inform its teeming supporters and the good people of Anambra state that the Federation Cup victory and trophy tour which was earlier billed to hold on the said date has been postponed.
This is due to the unavoidable absence of the Governor of Anambra State, H.E. Chief Willie Obiano who wishes to be part of the ceremony in support of the team but will not be disposed to participate tomorrow owing to some pressing engagements which will be taking him out of the State.
In a bid to accommodate the plans of the State Government for the ceremony, the Federation Cup victory and trophy tour will now hold on Wednesday, 23rd November, 2016.
However, all other Anambra State football activities particularly the Anambra State Football Association U-15 academy programme and England bound U-20 selection as published by Anambra State Football Association will continue as scheduled for the week.
It then apologies to it's fans for the inconveniences the postponement might have caused.
After a goalless full time scoreline, FC Ifeanyi Ubah claimed its first major silverware after beating Nasarawa United 5-4 on penalties in the Federation Cup final less than 10 days ago at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Lagos.
The rich-spending Anambra Warriors will fly Nigeria's flag in next season's CAF Confederations Cup alongside Wikki Tourists of Bauchi.
