In fine tuning its preparedness ahead of the January 30th opening match of the 2020/2021 Nigeria National League season, Rovers Football Club Calabar will trade tackles with One Rocket Football Club of Akwa Ibom in a preseason friendly.


The encounter billed for Tuesday January 19, 2021, will take place at the main pitch of the U.J. Esuene Stadium, Calabar by 3pm.

Meanwhile, in the week one fixture released on Friday, Rovers FC Calabar will hit the road to meet Shootings Stars Sports Club (3SC) of Ibadan. The first away game with the Oluyole Warriors will be played at the Otunba Dipo Dina Stadium in Ijebu-Ode.


Rovers FC is drawn in group B1, made up of Go Round FC, Akajobi FC, Stores FC, Giant Brillars FC and Nilayo FC. Others are; 3SC, Dynamite FC, Ekiti Utd FC, Delta Force FC, Vandrezzer FC and Nnewi Utd FC.
