Kun Khalifat and Barau FC are the only two sides among the eight clubs that compete in the 2024/2025 NNL Super 8 promotion playoffs that have never appeared in the NPFL. The competition begins today, Saturday, July 5, within the Stephen Keshi stadium.
Kun Khalifat: Young, brave and ready
Kun Khalifat showed incredible credentials during the regular season, offering impressive performances that left their group to rivals in the dust. That fugitive form is a timely warning for their playoff opponents: they should not be taken lightly. It is the classic scenario of “underestimate and pay a lot for it.”

Founded and funded by youth Michael Amaagule, Kun Khalifat is a real reflection of passion, youth and implacable impulse for excellence. His increase in the roller coaster in the newly completed season continues the impulse built in 2023/2024, when they competed in the Nationwide League One. Before someone could flash, they had secured the ascent to the rough and timid nnl, appropriate with the “most important league” of the nation.
With coach Obinna Uzoho directing from the bench and the tigana ‘Nnadi de Charles orchestrating the administrative affairs of the club, any team that underestimate them at their own risk.
“We are here in Asaba in a mission. Yes, we are helpless in these playoffs, and we hug that label. We look good, and we intend to use it for our advantage in the field,” Nnadi told Teleports.com.
“We have prepared well. The players are in good shape and are completely focused. By the grace of God, we will take one of the tickets.

“Of course, it will not be easy. Warri Wolves, Crown FC, Osun United: these are teams with NPFL experience. But we are not afraid. We have a job to do and we are focused on doing it.”
Barau FC: Vision funded, fed by youth
Barau FC of Kano are also debutants in the promotion playoffs of NNL Super 8. Like Kun Khalifat, they are labeled as helpless, but that could play for their advantage.
Founded and funded by Senator Barau Jibrin, vice president of the Senate, the club was established to promote youth development in its senatorial district and in Nigeria. The club is chaired by Ambassador Ibrahim Shitu Chanji and has continued to benefit from a solid financial support and visionary leadership.
Barau FC’s constant ascent, like Kun Khalifat, points out the ambition, motivation and hunger to leave a brand. Together, they are ready to be a handful for the most experienced teams at the Four -Day Football Festival in Asaba.
