Expectations are soaring as state football giants Osun United prepare to campaign in the 2024/2025 Nigeria National League (NNL) season. With renewed focus and meticulous preseason preparations led by their industrious coach, Seye Ajayi, the club is determined to surpass last season’s efforts and secure promotion to the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL).

The team’s confidence is bolstered by recruiting 16 exceptional players, complementing the 20 retained stars from the previous season. Rigorous medical evaluations have been completed, and the players are raring to showcase their mettle on the pitch. Osun United, stationed in Conference B, will kick off their season against First Bank FC of Lagos, a team returning to the NNL after a gruelling Nationwide League One campaign.

This season opener evokes memories of United’s triumphant start last year, where they clinched maximum points away at Tradesafe FC. However, despite a valiant effort, they narrowly missed the NPFL qualification zone. Determined to rewrite their story, Club Chairman Gbenga Ololade has called for unwavering focus and dedication.

“Every match is an opportunity to express our capabilities and earn points,” Ololade stated while addressing the players and officials. “The government’s support is immense, and we must reciprocate with sterling performances, discipline, and hard work.”

As Osun United adopts the Lanre Leke Sports Complex in Ileogbo as their temporary home ground due to ongoing renovations, fans eagerly anticipate a season filled with grit and glory. With a stellar lineup, including newcomers from top clubs like 3SC, Kwara United, and Niger Tornadoes, the ‘Imole Gladiators’ are poised to make history.

Here’s the full list of fresh recruits:

  1. Ayo Ojo (Kwara Utd)
  2. Nwogwu Justice (Praise King)
  3. Solomon Boyo (FC One Rocket)
  4. Abubakar Taofeek (Kaduna Utd)
  5. Ololade Ajibola (Madiba FC)
  6. Damilare Ajibola (Elite Stars)
  7. Samuel Udor (Standard FC)
  8. Olateju Robiu (Ijebu Utd)
  9. Joseph Ahen (Ajara FC)

  12. David Lawrence (Olympic Hybrid)
  13. Gberefun Ganiyu (PJT FC)
  14. Olafimihan Gafar (3SC)
  15. Samuel Adeniyi (Niger Tornadoes)
