Enyimba U19 will begin their 2025 NPFL U19 League campaign against Lobi Stars U19 in a Group B fixture at the Isiala Ngwa Stadium this week.
The Young Elephants, who are drawn alongside Rangers U19 and Rivers United U19, will be hoping to build on the strong finish they enjoyed in the recently concluded N-Youth League. Their performances in that competition have raised confidence among supporters ahead of the new season.
Head Coach KingJoe Akuma expressed optimism about his side’s readiness.
“We have had a solid pre-tournament programme. The boys have shown great discipline and determination in training,” he said after Monday’s final session.
“Our team spirit is high. These players have built a strong bond, and that unity is our biggest strength going into the tournament.”
Akuma also praised club chairman Ambassador Kanu Nwankwo for his consistent support, describing it as both fatherly and inspiring.
“Chairman Kanu has been more than just a leader for us. He has played the role of a father to these boys, always encouraging them, checking on their welfare, and showing genuine care. That kind of love makes the players want to give their all for him and for the badge they represent,” he added.
Kick-off against Lobi Stars U19 is scheduled for 9:00 AM, with Enyimba keen to start strongly and send a message to their group rivals.
