The stage is set for a thrilling Sunday as the 2026 Lagos FA Cup enters its decisive semi-final phase, with both the men’s and women’s finalists to be determined at Inspire Sport Ground, Cappa Oshodi.

Action kicks off bright and early with a blockbuster men’s clash as G12 FC, one of the tournament’s most in-form sides, square up against Vinod FC in a battle expected to produce fireworks. The Lagos Island boys have impressed with their consistency and attacking rhythm, but the Agege-based Vinod FC will be equally determined to book a place in the final.
Attention then shifts to the women’s category where Ghetto Tigers Ladies face Dream Star Ladies in what promises to be a fierce encounter between two ambitious sides. With both teams eyeing silverware, the contest could go down to the wire.
Another heavyweight men’s semi-final follows as Box2Box FC take on Nigeria Premier Football League side Ikorodu City FC. Widely regarded as a tactical showdown, the Surulere boys will have their hands full against an Ikorodu City side carrying top-flight pedigree.
The women’s second semi-final will also deliver quality as FC Robo Queens battle Unification Ladies. The Mushin landladies come into the tie with experience, but Unification Ladies have shown enough quality to trouble any opponent.
With places in the finals on the line, every match carries enormous stakes and fans can expect drama, intensity and possibly a few surprises.
