TEAM NEWS
Dolphins return to the Federation Cup today, May 13, 2015, a cup they have won four times previously in 2001, 2004, 2006 and 200t.
Dolphins were also Federation Cup finalists in 2014 when they lost to Enyimba, 201 in the final.
In the spirit of continuity and blending, Stanley Eguma has taken fifteen of the players that got a draw in Oghara last Sunday to Calabar for this game against FC Inter.
Only Godbless Asamoah, Chidiebere Okolie and Ayobami failed to make the match day squad from the game in Oghara.
Ayobami and Okolie both hobbled off injured during the game in Oghara, while Asamoah didn’t make it on technical grounds.
They have been replaced by Daniel Victor, Kingsley Ashu and Igwe Nwosu.
Igwe Nwosu, who was with Dolphins feeder team may make his debut for the club if he gets to play against Inter FC on Wednesday.
MATCH PREVIEW
Since the Federation Cup took the straight knock out structure, Dolphins have been knocked out at this stage, once, in 2013.
The game was against Akwa Starlets in Umuahia and after 90 minutes finished 0-0, Dolphins lost the resultant shoot out 4-2.
In 2014, Dolphins also played a fellow Enugu based club at this stage of the competition, Ingas FC and it ended 3-1 for Dolphins, goals from Emem Eduok, Ifeanyi Egwim and Ebube Okpokwu.
