Wikki Tourists FC will make their much-anticipated return to the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) with a high-stakes home fixture against Plateau United at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Stadium, Bauchi. Meanwhile, the League body has announced Friday, 22 August 2025 as kick-off date for the NPFL26.
The club, nicknamed the Giant Elephants, is back in Nigeria’s topflight after spending two seasons in the Nigeria National League (NNL). Head Coach Abdu Maikaba has led the team into intensive training sessions as they prepare for a strong comeback to elite football.
Ahead of the new campaign, Wikki Tourists are also set to compete in the Gusau/Ahlan Preseason Tournament in Lafia, Nasarawa State. The tournament will provide a crucial platform for the team to fine-tune tactics and assess squad readiness.
Backed by the Bauchi State Government and a committed technical crew, the club has set ambitious targets for the season. Management has stated its intention not only to compete strongly in the league but also to push for a return to continental football.
The club’s media team called on fans and stakeholders to rally behind the team as they embark on this new chapter.
