Kwara United Ready For New NPFL Season — Coach Ashifat
Kwara United head coach, Suleiman Ashifat, says his team is fully ready for the new Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season.

Ashifat stated this while speaking with journalists after the Harmony Boys defeated Crown FC of Ogbomoso 2-0 in a friendly match on Wednesday. The game was organized for fans to assess the squad after their three-week preseason tour.

“The league is here already, and we have no excuse not to declare our readiness for the season. Today’s friendly was organised for our fans to assess the team after three weeks on the road for preseason,” the coach said.

The Ilorin-based side recently returned from a preseason tournament in Kano, where they emerged as runners-up after losing to Ranchers Bees on penalties in the final.

According to Ashifat, the victory over Crown FC is part of their final preparations for the new campaign, with remaining technical issues to be fixed before the league kicks off.

He also called on fans to come out in large numbers to support the team in their opening game against Kano Pillars at the Kwara State Stadium, Ilorin.

“We promised to give our best and secure maximum points for Kwara State. We need the twelfth man behind us,” he added.

Kwara United will open their 2025/26 NPFL campaign at home against Kano Pillars.
