“We scouted talent through tours in Ogun, Lagos, and Bayelsa states to find the right mix of players for the new season,” Badawy stated.
“As you can see, we’ve brought together a balanced team with both young and experienced players.”
Highlighting the club’s performance data from various tournaments across the three states, Badawy reassured that Kwara United remains a strong contender.
“We concede very few goals and have defeated high-ranking teams, including Al Merikkh of Sudan, a continental powerhouse. With more training days ahead, our squad will be fully prepared to give their best when the league kicks off,” he added.
