Enyimba Set June 20 for Preseason Return Ahead of 2025/26 NPFL Campaign
Former Nigerian champions Enyimba FC are set to resume preparations for the upcoming 2025/26 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season on Friday, June 20, according to an official statement from the club’s Sporting Director, Ifeanyi Ekwueme.
The statement confirms that training will begin at 7:30 a.m. at the Enyimba International Stadium, Aba, with all players and officials expected to report without fail. The strict directive signals a no-nonsense approach by the People’s Elephant as they look to rebuild and refocus after a disappointing campaign.
🔁 A Season of Reflection
Enyimba ended last season in 6th place with 55 points, failing to secure a continental spot — a result considered below par for a club of their stature and historic legacy in Nigerian football.
Now, with the new season scheduled to kick off on August 22, the early resumption marks a renewed sense of urgency and ambition within the camp.
🗣️ Opinion – Time to Roar Again
For a team that once dominated not just Nigerian football but also made a mark on the African continent, Enyimba’s sixth-place finish last season was underwhelming. The early return to training is not just a routine call — it’s a statement of intent.
This preseason will be crucial in determining how far the team can push in the new season. It’s a chance for new talent to rise, old errors to be corrected, and for the club to lay a strong foundation for a return to the top.
📌 What’s Next for Enyimba?
🔄 Possible squad overhaul expected.
🧠 Focus on tactical and physical conditioning.
🔍 Fans will watch closely to see if Enyimba can return to their title-challenging form.
