The 2014 President’s Cup has reached the semi-final stage this Friday, featuring two highly anticipated matches. Nigeria, which finished at the top of Group B with two 2-0 victories over Mali, is set to face Benin. The Benin team, known as the Ecureuils cadets, showed resilience against Ivory Coast during the group stage.
While Nigeria is considered the clear favorite in this matchup, Emile Enassoum’s players have demonstrated promising performances in the competition, suggesting they could pose a challenge.
In the other semi-final, Togo will take on Mali. Playing in front of their home crowd, the Togolese cadets, known as the Eperviers, are eager to secure a spot in the tournament final. However, Mali, motivated to redeem themselves after two defeats against Nigeria, will likely put up a strong fight.
