Kwara United interim coach, Ashifat Suleiman, has expressed strong confidence in his team’s ability to compete for the 2025/26 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) title following their 1-0 victory over Katsina United on Sunday. The match, held at the Rashidi Yekini Stadium in Ilorin, saw Ibrahim Yahaya score a stunning long-range goal that sealed the win for the Harmony Boys.
Speaking after the game, Suleiman praised his players for their determination and assured fans that the team’s focus remains firmly on winning the league this season. “We won the FA Cup last season, and this season our focus is the league. We won’t relent until we achieve our goal,” he said confidently.
The hard-fought win lifted Kwara United to 10th position on the NPFL table with 12 points, showing signs of steady improvement under Suleiman’s leadership. The coach’s ambition and belief in the squad have brought renewed optimism among fans and supporters of the club.
Kwara United’s victory also highlights their growing consistency, as the team continues to find balance in both attack and defense. Yahaya’s goal was his third of the season, making him one of the key figures in the squad’s impressive run so far.
The 2025 President Federation Cup champions will now turn their attention to their next game — a challenging away fixture against Rangers International in Enugu, where they hope to build on their recent momentum.
