Nasarawa United Set Sights on a Strong 2025/26 NPFL Season

Nasarawa United are gearing up for what they hope will be a transformative 2025/26 campaign in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL).

The Solid Miners endured a difficult 2024/25 season, struggling with relegation for most of the campaign before managing to stay afloat. Despite their league struggles, they impressed in the President’s Federation Cup, reaching the semi-final stage.

Looking ahead, the club’s chairman, Solomon Babanjah, has assured supporters that the team is committed to bouncing back stronger.

“We will work hard and smart, and pray to outperform our achievements for last season in the new campaign,” Babanjah told the club’s media team.

Nasarawa United will begin their new season with a tough opening clash against Niger Tornadoes in Minna.

Opinion

For Nasarawa United, the upcoming season isn’t just another campaign—it’s a chance for redemption. After flirting dangerously with relegation, the club must now show resilience, discipline, and hunger if they are to restore faith among their passionate fan base.

Their Federation Cup run last season proved one thing: the Solid Miners have potential when it matters most. What they lacked was consistency in the league. If Babanjah’s promise of “hard and smart” work translates to the pitch, then Nasarawa United could surprise many by climbing back into the top half of the table.

Opening against Niger Tornadoes will be a real test of intent. A positive start in Minna could set the tone for a season that might rewrite the narrative of the Solid Miners—not as survivors, but as genuine competitors.

Ultimately, this season will be defined by whether Nasarawa United can convert determination into results. If they do, the 2025/26 campaign could mark the beginning of a new chapter in their NPFL story.
