Defending champions Heartland play Akwa United at the Ahmadu Bello Stadium. Heartland beat Ingas 1-0 to advance to the quarter-finals. Akwa United beat Enugu Rangers 2-1 to progress. Heartland have won the Fed Cup on three occasions, most. United are yet to qualify for the semi-finals of the competition since it was set-up.
Akwa Starlets play Lobi Stars at the Nnamdi Azikwe Stadium in Enugu. Lobi Stars played against Heartland in the 2012 final and lost the match 2-1. Starlets have accounted for the elimination of Dolphins and Abia Warriors.
Enyimba International, who have won the competition 2 times, take-on Nasarawa United. The Peoples Elephants are favoured to win at the MKO Abiola International Stadium in Abeokuta.
