Sporting Lagos is gearing up for the 2025-26 Nigeria National League season, with head coach Jeffery Butter expressing confidence in his team’s preparedness. According to Butter, the team’s intense training sessions and pre-season games have adequately equipped them for the new campaign.
Speaking to the media at a pre-season tournament in Ogun State, Butter stated, “I think we’re ready. We’ve shown that we have done a lot of work in the last six or seven weeks. These performances and results are a testament to it.” This assessment suggests that Sporting Lagos has made significant progress during the off-season, which could potentially translate to a strong performance in the upcoming league.
The 2025-26 Nigeria National League season is scheduled to commence on November 8, with Sporting Lagos facing Osun United in their opening fixture. As the team prepares to take on the challenge, their pre-season preparations will be put to the test. The Nigeria National League is the second tier of Nigerian football, and a strong showing in the league could have significant implications for the team’s future.
Butter’s comments come after a series of pre-season games, which have provided valuable insight into the team’s strengths and weaknesses. The coaching staff has likely used this opportunity to fine-tune the team’s strategy and make any necessary adjustments. With the season opener fast approaching, Sporting Lagos will be looking to carry their pre-season momentum into the league.
As the 2025-26 Nigeria National League season gets underway, Sporting Lagos will be one of the teams to watch. With a strong pre-season under their belt, they will be aiming to make a significant impact in the league. The team’s opening fixture against Osun United will provide an early indication of their chances, and fans will be eagerly anticipating the outcome.
