The Federal Capital Territory Football Association (FCT FA) has pledged its full support to Neurospark FC as the club begins life in the Nigeria National League (NNL), expressing confidence in its ability to secure promotion to the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL).
The newly promoted side paid a courtesy visit to the FCT FA leadership following its successful campaign at the Nigeria Nationwide League One (NLO) playoffs in Lafia.
The delegation was received on behalf of the Association’s Chairman, Alhaji Adam Mouktar Mohammed, by the FCT FA Secretary, Coach Usman Ilerika.
Congratulating the club, Ilerika hailed the achievement as a proud moment for football in the Federal Capital Territory.
“On behalf of the Chairman and the board members of the FCT Football Association, I congratulate Neurospark FC on this remarkable achievement.
You have made the FCT proud by earning promotion from the NLO, and we are confident you can continue this impressive journey,” he said.
The FCT FA Secretary urged the club to prepare thoroughly for the challenges of competing in the Nigeria National League, describing it as one of the most competitive football leagues in the country.
“The NNL is one of the toughest leagues in Nigeria, and success will require thorough preparation, discipline, commitment and unity of purpose.
The management and players must work together and remain focused because you are now representing not just your club but the entire people of the FCT,” Ilerika stated.
He reaffirmed the Association’s commitment to supporting the club’s long-term aspirations.
“The FCT FA will continue to provide a level playing ground and support your aspirations. We encourage you to remain disciplined and dedicated as you strive to gain promotion to the NPFL,” he added.
Ilerika also commended the management and players for bringing pride to the FCT and wished the team greater success in the coming season.
Neurospark FC secured promotion after an impressive outing at the NLO playoffs in Lafia, winning two of their three matches to clinch the North Central ticket to the Nigeria National League.
