THE Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC’s) Football Team (EFCC FC) on Saturday, 30 March 2024, lifted the FCT F.A Cup after defeating Sporting Supreme FC in a very scintillating performance that ended 4-3.

The game, which took place at the Bwari Township Stadium, Abuja before a large crowd of football lovers and cheerleaders, saw the EFCC team defeat their opponent in a penalty shootout which ended 4-3 to lift the trophy after a breathtaking 2-2 draw of full game time.

In the course of the game, Sporting Supreme FC took the lead with the first goal in the 29th minute, further sustained with the second goal in the 74th minute of play time before the EFCC team fought from a two-goal deficit with a brilliant comeback to level up the scores with the help of Abubakar Bature scoring a brace just two minutes to the final whistle.

The EFCC team, six-time champions, had played three finals consecutively in the previous seasons to lift the title since its last win in 2021.

The team will proceed to represent FCT in the Confederation Cup where it will lock horns with other titans like Rangers, Kano Pillars, Lobi Stars, Sunshine Stars, and Akwa Ibom United, among others.
