Abia Warriors ready for new season

The management of Abia Warriors FC of Umuahia has declared their readiness for the 2020/2021 Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) season.

The Club’s Sporting Director, Patrick Ngwaogu, told NAN that the club had commenced preparation for the new season and only waiting for directive from the country’s football authorities to lift the ban on football activities.

“We are going to compete seriously for the title because a solid structure has been laid for the club and that is why there are some changes in the club,” Ngwaogu said.

He added: “However, NFF has not lifted the ban on football activities, and it was only yesterday (Monday) the LMC sent us notice to commence club licensing. We are already prepared, because we have been signing and unveiling some players, and that is part of preparation.

“So, since we have our players intact, it becomes very easy for the coach and the team to commence the season and we don’t rely on the state government. The club is an entity of its own because of our good structure.”
