The champion of the 2023 edition will represent Nigeria at next season's CAF Confederation Cup.

Nigeria's premier cup competition will enter its quarterfinal stage in days to come with eight teams seeking to be crowned as one of the country's silverware champions for the 2023 season.

As is customary with the competition, an additional reward for the 2023 champion of the Federation Cup, would be to represent Nigeria at next season's CAF Confederation Cup.

Already in the quarterfinal stage of the competition include former cup champions Rangers, Bendel Insurance and Plateau United as well as title-seeking Sunshine Stars, Warri Wolves, Doma United and Kwara United.

With defending champions Bayelsa United already eliminated, the 2023 edition will produce a new winner from the pool of quarterfinalists.
