Warri Wolves Secure NPFL Promotion Through Determination, Chairman Says
Warri Wolves chairman Neville Ambakederemo credits unwavering determination for his team’s successful promotion to Nigeria’s top football division. The Seasiders clinched their return to the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) after defeating Crown FC 2-1 in Ozoro on Thursday.
The victory marks a significant milestone for Warri Wolves, who last competed in the NPFL in 2021. Their three-year absence from Nigeria’s premier football competition ended with the crucial win that secured their promotion from the Nigeria National League (NNL).
Ambakederemo emphasized that mental fortitude played the decisive role in achieving this breakthrough. The chairman’s comments highlight the psychological challenges teams face when seeking promotion to Nigeria’s elite football tier.
The 2-1 victory over Crown FC represents more than just three points for the Delta State-based club. It symbolizes their successful campaign to reclaim their position among Nigeria’s top football clubs after spending multiple seasons in the second division.
Warri Wolves’ promotion adds another team to the NPFL roster for the upcoming season. Their return strengthens the league’s competitive landscape and provides Nigerian football fans with renewed excitement.
The Seasiders now prepare for their NPFL comeback, facing the challenge of establishing themselves among Nigeria’s premier football clubs. Their promotion journey demonstrates how determination can overcome setbacks in professional sports.
