SPORTING LAGOS TARGET IMMEDIATE RETURN TO NPFL
Sporting Lagos are targeting an immediate return to the Nigeria Premier Football League.
Abdullahi Biffo’s side were relegated from the NPFL in the just-concluded season.
Sporting Lagos will compete in the Nigeria National League next season.
The modest club took to their X account to thank their fans while also promising an immediate return to the NPFL.
“After a whirlwind debut season in the NPFL, Sunday’s against Shooting Stars confirms our relegation,” the statement reads.
“It’s been an emotional several weeks — an emotional year. From a seven-game winless streak and a blowout SW derby, to Lagos Island roadshows and away game road trips, this has been a season to remember.

“But this is a 100-year project — today’s setbacks are tomorrow’s stepping stones. We will surely be back in top flight as soon as possible.
“To our fans who travel from near and far and have stuck with us through every win and loss — we say a big thank you.
“You have made every blow less painful and every triumph infinitely more meaningful.”
