<br>Against a team like the Golden Eaglets, renowned for producing future stars, Ogun’s victory speaks volumes. This wasn’t just a contest of local pride it was a clash of Nigeria’s present and future. And Ogun, playing with grit and ambition, showed they belong on the national footballing stage.

<br>The significance of reaching the final on home soil cannot be overstated. With fans behind them and momentum on their side, Ogun now face Kwara in what promises to be a fiercely competitive finale.
