Rivers Angels, perennial winners of the President Federation Cup, are gearing up to face Naija Ratels in Lagos, aiming for their ninth title.
They secured their final berth by edging Delta Queens 2-1 in the semifinals held at Akwa.
Influential midfielder Aminat Folorunsho will be absent due to her loan deal with parent club Naija Ratels, leaving a gap in midfield for the Pride of Port Harcourt.
Despite narrowly missing out on the NWFL Premiership crown, Rivers Angels are determined to end the season with silverware.

- Goalkeeper Morufat Ademola, chosen for her consistency and composure in goal.
- Defenders Joy Michael, Polinus Ifeoma, Alexander Florence, and Sandra John, who have contributed to the team’s solid defensive record.
- Midfielders Olamide Adugbe, Patience Otubo, and Ifeoma Ikenokwalu, tasked with controlling the midfield battle.
- Forwards Peace Effiong, Chiamaka Okwuchukwu, and Blessing Okpe, aiming to break down Naija Ratels’ defense and score crucial goals.
This lineup highlights Rivers Angels’ strength across all areas of the pitch, showcasing their determination to secure another prestigious trophy in Nigerian women’s football.
