Elsewhere in the competition, Godswill Akpabio United FC showcased their strength with a resounding 6-0 win over Regnant Academy. Meanwhile, Akwa United FC defeated Pillars Investors Academy 3-1 to book their place in the semi-finals.

Football fans in Uyo can expect a fiercely contested battle as both sides aim for glory. Dakkada FC will rely on their experience and squad depth, while Heavens Race Academy will hope to spring a surprise and make history in their first campaign.
As the tournament progresses, excitement continues to build ahead of the grand final, which is scheduled to take place on February 23, 2025. The competition remains wide open, with every team striving to etch their name into Akwa Ibom football history.
