For Kwara United, its the closest to ever making it to a title having never ever even finished as a runner up in the league or as a winner in their 28 year history although they'll be dreaming of making it to the continent for the third time in their history.
For Abakiliki FC, just formed 8 months ago, it would be the most unpredictable outcome should They defeat the harmony boys. The club just got relegated to the third division from the second division but were giant killers in the FA Cup this season.
They'll be facing a Kwara United side that finished 14th in the first division, the Nigerian Premier Football League which is the top flight football league in the country.

This is the first time a team in the FA Cup Final won't be competing in the second or first division the following season, showing that Abakiliki FC are truly a magical team.
Nigeria awaits to see if their magic will be enough to end the hunger of the Afonja warriors in the final this weekend. Only Time will tell.
