United Professionals vs. Wesley Ambassadors: A First Look at Their Oyokun Final Matchup

United Professionals FC and Wesley Ambassadors will meet in the 2021 Oyokun Diplomatic Football Championship final. Take a look at their runs to the title match and their key players for the September 12 bout at the Awo football pitch, University of Ibadan.

A loaded team that’s rarely had to exit second gear (United Professionals), and another that expended more energy than anyone in the tournament (Wesley Ambassadors), will meet for the season four Oyokun Diplomatic Football championship.

The matchup was set last month as Wesley Ambassadors outlasted Urban Day All Stars 7-6 on penalty shoot-out after 1-1 regulation time. Debutant United Professionals were never a favourite before the tournament but this may change on Sunday, September 12, 2021 at the Awo football pitch, University of Ibadan. No doubt, the two teams got depth, teamwork and talents, and this has helped them to be the new finalists.

The strength of both sides is the force and flair of their midfields, flanks and forwards, where stars like Wesley Ambassadors' Demola Ikudaisi, Fadaya Nafiu, Mangala and Sadu Ishola, and United Professionals’ Valentino Iguenbor, Oladedinde Oluwajoba and Owolabi Kayode have put their stamp on this final Cup.
