Kun Khalifat FC Coach Uzoho Praises Players After Crucial Win Over Niger Tornadoes

Head coach of Kun Khalifat FC, Obinna Uzoho, has applauded his players for their determination and hard work following their important 2–0 victory against Niger Tornadoes.

The Owerri-based side secured the win at the Dan Anyiam Stadium on Sunday, with goals from Adamu Mohammed and Ebetomame Oghenetega sealing all three points.

Speaking after the match, Uzoho expressed satisfaction with the team’s performance, describing the victory as a reward for their commitment on and off the pitch.

“I’m happy that result is going our way, it’s a result of our hard work,” he said in a post-match interview.

The coach also emphasized the importance of motivation and positive reinforcement, insisting that encouragement — rather than dwelling on past struggles — is what the players need to climb higher on the league table.

“We don’t need to be going back to the past. All what the players need now is encouragement in order to move up on the league table,” he added.

The victory has slightly improved Kun Khalifat FC’s standing, moving them to 19th position with 28 points from 27 matches as they continue their fight to avoid relegation.

Opinion: Small Wins Can Spark Big Turnarounds

While Kun Khalifat FC may still find themselves near the bottom of the table, victories like this can carry psychological importance far beyond the three points earned.

Coach Uzoho’s emphasis on encouragement is particularly noteworthy. Teams battling relegation often suffer more from low morale than lack of talent. Confidence, unity, and belief can sometimes be the difference between survival and collapse.

If Kun Khalifat FC can build momentum from this result, the narrative of their season could change dramatically. Football history is filled with teams that escaped difficult situations simply because they found belief at the right moment.

For the fans, this win offers hope. For the players, it offers proof. And for the coach, it offers validation that persistence and encouragement remain powerful tools in football success.
