EuroMatch NPFL: Enyimba Board, Kanu Nwankwo Rally Players Ahead of Inter Lagos Clash
Enyimba Football Club received a morale boost on Wednesday as members of the club’s board, led by Chairman FIFA Ambassador Kanu Nwankwo, visited the team ahead of Sunday’s EuroMatch Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) clash with Inter Lagos.
The visit, the first formal meeting between the board and the playing squad since the start of the 2026/27 season, provided an important show of solidarity as the People’s Elephants prepare for a crucial home fixture.
Enyimba have opened their campaign with two away matches, travelling first to Minna to face Niger Tornadoes before making another trip to Gombe for their encounter with Doma United.
With the team still searching for its first victory of the season, Sunday’s meeting with Inter Lagos at the Enyimba Stadium carries added significance as the Aba giants look to turn their early-season campaign around.
Speaking on behalf of the board, Vice Chairman Captain Eric Iheanacho Asomugha reaffirmed the club’s commitment to the players, the chairman and the wider welfare of Enyimba.
“Our Chairman is a man of peace. We are here to support him and to support the club as well.
“Many people are looking up to you, including younger ones. Enyimba should win the league this season. We are here to promise you our support.
“I am telling you that the Chairman, the Board and all the administrative crew are behind you. We have decided to support this team.
“We are working as a team under the leadership of the chairman,” Asomugha said.
The message from the board was aimed at reinforcing unity around the squad as Enyimba prepare for what promises to be an important early-season test.
For the People’s Elephants, the objective is clear: secure their first three points of the campaign and begin building momentum in the EuroMatch NPFL.
Enyimba will host Inter Lagos on Sunday at the Enyimba Stadium, with the Aba side seeking to convert home advantage into their first league victory of the season.
