Bayelsa United will resume training on Saturday, 28 June 2025, as the club begins preparations for the upcoming 2025/26 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season.
The Yenagoa-based side, led by veteran coach Ladan Bosso, will be hoping to improve on last season’s mid-table finish. The team ended the 2024/25 campaign in 11th place — a performance that drew criticism from fans calling for greater consistency and ambition.
Their Federation Cup journey ended in disappointment after a Round of 16 exit to Nasarawa United on penalties, exposing shortcomings in their finishing and mental strength under pressure.
Club insiders have described the upcoming season as a "rebuild year", with emphasis on squad strengthening, tactical adjustments, and improved fitness levels. Bosso, widely respected for his focus on youth development and structured play, is expected to make key changes to the squad as he targets a top-half finish and a deeper run in the cup competitions.
The team’s pre-season schedule will include friendly matches and player evaluations as they fine-tune preparations before the new league season kicks off.
Supporters in Yenagoa will be watching closely, eager to see whether Bayelsa United can show the consistency needed to compete at the top end of the NPFL and avoid being dragged into a relegation battle.
