“We are scouting for talent through tours in Ogun, Lagos and Bayelsa states to find the right mix of players for the new season,” Badawy said.

“As you can see, we have put together a balanced team with young and experienced players.”

Highlighting the club’s performance data from various tournaments across the three states, Badawy assured that Kwara United remains a strong contender.

“We have conceded only a few goals and have beaten top teams, including Al Merikkh from Sudan, a strong team on the continent. With more days of training ahead, our squad will be fully prepared to give their best when the league starts,” he added.
