Abakaliki FC Boss Ifeanyi Onyedika Confident Ahead of Clash With Kun Khalifat FC

Abakaliki FC head coach, Ifeanyi Onyedika, is brimming with confidence as his side prepares to take on in-form Kun Khalifat FC in a crucial matchday 12 fixture this Saturday at the Pa Ngele Oruta Township Stadium.

Despite sitting 9th on the Conference B table with just 10 points from 10 games, Onyedika believes the energy from home supporters — coupled with fresh legs in the squad — could spark a much-needed turnaround.

“Kun Khalifat is a very good team, but we know we’re going to match them and beat them at our home because this is our backyard,” he boldly stated in a pre-match interview.

The coach also hinted at a strategic shake-up in his squad, promising to field some of his newly recruited players to bring fresh competition and fire to the team.

“The team is very well prepared. The intensity is there. The new boys are competing with the players we retained, so there is a lot of competition in the team right now.”

Opinion: Time for Abakaliki FC to Turn Promise Into Performance

Coach Onyedika’s optimism is refreshing — and frankly, necessary — for a side that has underwhelmed so far this season. With just one point per game on average, Abakaliki FC desperately need a statement performance, and there’s no better time or place than on their home turf against one of the league’s top sides.

The introduction of new recruits adds an intriguing layer to this fixture. Fresh talent often brings fresh hunger — and if Onyedika can channel that into 90 minutes of focused intensity, Kun Khalifat FC might just be in for a surprise.

Still, talk is cheap in football. The real answer will come when the whistle blows on Saturday. Can Abakaliki FC rise to the occasion and turn belief into results?
