NIGERIA Professional
Football League outfit, Kwara United will engage Nigeria National League side
Kogi United in a friendly match at the Main Bowl of the Kwara State Stadium on
Saturday.
The
friendly match is being put together to prepare the two teams during their
league break which is currently indefinitely postponed due
to a leadership tussle in the Nigeria Football Federation.
Kwara United are 15th on the
NPFL log while Kogi United are topping their Group A2 table of the NNL before
the break.
Technical Adviser of the Harmony Boys, Abubakar Bala said the
team will continue to engage teams in friendly so as to keep the players in
shape.
“We are preparing and the
players are responding very well. We don’t have any choice than to continue to
keep the players busy during this break with series of friendly matches and
part of is the hosting of Kogi United on Saturday morning. We engaged Shooting
Stars of Ibadan last week and we supposed to play MFM in Lagos on Wednesday but
the match could not hold due to some unforeseen circumstances. So we are
looking forward to welcome our neighbors to Ilorin on Saturday,” Bala told

Kogi United media officer, Wale
Mustapha said the friendly is important to his team as they are aiming for a promotion
to the first division.
“We rounded up our friendly
trip to Minna with a 2-1 win over the amateu side, Top Squad after playing goalless with Niger Tornadoes. Our game against Kwara United will be another
test for the team as we are keen on securing a ticket to the NPFL this season,”
Mustapha told Sportsbiz247.blogspot.com.
