The Naze Millionaires and the People’s Elephant have been handed tricky fixtures in next week's Federation Cup Round of 16 pairings

Enyimba will battle Remo Stars while Heartland FC face fellow NPFL rivals Sharks FC in the 2015 Federation Cup Round of 32 matches fixed for 8-9, July, 2015.

The Peoples Elephant have emerged back to back champions of the tournament and will be hoping to lift their third when they lock horns with the Nigeria National League side. The tie comes up at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, Benin City next Wednesday.

Heartland are struggling to re-enact the good old days which saw them lift the Federation Cup in 2011 and 2012 and they much negotiate their place in the Round of 16 if they are serious about a turnaround.

Giant killers, Kukuruku Dragons of Edo will strive to continue their impressive run in the competition when they tackle rejuvenated Enugu Rangers in Ilorin on Wednesday while another non-league side, Papilo FC of Imo will also try to displace FC Taraba out of the competition when they tango in Lafia on Thursday.  

There are also matches lined up in the women’s category with cup holders, Rivers Angels expected to meet City of David Ladies of Lagos in Abuja on Wednesday among other fixtures.
