Dakkada FC, a team from the Nigeria National League (NNL), is one of the most successful clubs in the history of the Akwa Ibom State Federation Cup, second only to Akwa United FC. Under the guidance of Coach Emmanuel Ntuk, they will be aiming to make it to the semi-finals and continue their strong tradition in the competition.
