The match carries added significance for the Ogun football community as the Flamingos are currently led by Akeem Busari, who serves as the Technical Director of the NFCA Ogun State Chapter.

Busari, recently appointed head coach of the national U-17 women’s team, has been widely praised for his contributions to grassroots and youth football development in Nigeria.
