Lobi Stars’ technical adviser, Bala Abubakar, expressed satisfaction with the team’s preparations ahead of the 2025‑26 Nigeria National League season. The Pride of Makurdi have been impressive in their buildup, recently thrashing non‑league side AAZ FA 10‑0 in a friendly match. This emphatic performance is expected to boost the players’ confidence as they seek an immediate return to the Nigeria Premier Football League after last season’s relegation.
Abubakar emphasized the importance of friendly games, stating that every match is an opportunity for the team to grow and build confidence. “The friendly games are good; there is no small match. I’m happy the lads are responding positively, which will build their confidence to face the challenges ahead,” he said.
The Nigeria National League, the country’s second‑tier competition, will commence in October, giving clubs a few more weeks to finalize their preparations. Lobi Stars will compete alongside other teams for promotion to the top‑tier Nigeria Premier Football League. Their return to the premier division will depend on their performance in the upcoming season, and with their current form and determination, they are poised to make a strong push for promotion.
Fans are eagerly awaiting the season’s start, hoping the team will regain its spot in the top league. The 2025‑26 Nigeria National League promises to be an exciting campaign, with several clubs vying for promotion. Lobi Stars, backed by impressive preparations and resolve, are one of the teams to watch, and supporters will be closely monitoring their progress as the season approaches.
