The chairperson and the financers of Madiba FC, Alhaja Adeyemi Basirat Adebisi has described the qualifications of her team to Nigerian National League as a dream come through.
Madiba FC won the playoff final over Beyond Limit FC of Ogun State as in an interesting encounter which was later decided by penalty.
The Lagos based team secured their place in the Nigeria National League for next season with a 4-1 win via penalty shoot-out over Beyond Limit FC – after a one-all scoreline at the regulation time.
“Personally it’s a dream come true, It is something we wanted to achieve few years back. The players promised to push thier career forward by securing the promotion ticket and get into the National League and to finally do it is a great achievement,”
It’s now time to celebrate it and really enjoy it. We’ve worked hard all season. It’s incredible to have reached this stage after having endured so many tough times. There’s nothing better than winning this match and gain promotion to the second tier of Nigeria football league.”
It’s a dream come true for me to be here and see these players doing the impossible at the crucial time. We were unbeaten through out the league, and today, we won the promotion play-off. When you’re a owner or player, it doesn’t get any more exciting than this.”
Madiba FC will join FC Ebedei, Smart FC and Aspire FC in the Nigeria National League Southern Division next campaign.
