It will be an all-Karu showdown as debutants New Karu Veterans square up against their counterparts, Karu Veterans, in the grand finale of the 2025 Abuja All Stars International Veteran Tournament.
On Saturday, New Karu stunned USF with an emphatic 3-1 victory in the first semifinal to book their place in the final in style. Later in the day, Karu Veterans overcame Apo Fitness Veterans 5-4 in a tense penalty shootout to seal their first-ever appearance in the final.
With both teams set to lock horns this Saturday inside the Moshood Abiola National Stadium, Abuja, coaches and captains from both camps have begun talking tough, promising fans a thrilling finale.
Speaking after their semifinal win, New Karu captain Robinson Amba expressed confidence in his team’s mission:
“Now that we are in the final, we know we cannot come this far only to fall short. The target has always been the trophy, and all hands are on deck to make sure we bring it home.”
New Karu coach, Abiodun Arowofela, also praised his team’s resilience:
“By God’s grace, we are now at the last stage of our mission. The opponents are no pushovers, but football is about determination and persistence. We have come this far, and with God on our side, we believe we can finish strong and lift the trophy.”
As the 2025 edition of the Abuja All Stars International Veteran Tournament draws to a close, fans can expect nothing short of fireworks when both Karu sides battle for supremacy in what promises to be a final to remember.
