After a week-long league, four teams – NLNG, Shell, NNPC and Total – qualified to slug it out for tickets to the final of the football event of the 2016 Nigeria Oil and Gas Industry Games coming up in March.

The semi final matches will hold this morning at the Legacy Pitch, National Stadium, Surulere Lagos with the opening match featuring NLNG and Shell. This encounter begins at 8.30. To qualify for the semi final, Shell placed second in Group C, behind Total while NLNG topped Group B.

The other semi final which commences 10 am at the same venue will see the defending champions, NNPC take on Total. This match has been dubbed the final before the final because of the pedigree of the two teams in the competition. Total topped group C with 6 points, scoring 6 goals in the process and a plus 4 goal difference, while NNPC on the other hand topped Group A with the same points and a plus four goal difference. Pundits say the winner of this tie is likely to win the final and ultimately the gold medal.
