Kwara United has completed the acquisition of six new players in a decisive move to salvage their struggling 2025/2026 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) campaign. The Harmony Boys officially confirmed the arrivals of Abdulsalam Abdulsalam, Hannafi Akaje Babatunde, Gabriel Abutu Jeremiah, Samsudeen Mohammed, Salisu Mustapha, and Okoloko Johnathan.
These reinforcements have already arrived at the club’s training base in Ilorin to integrate with the existing squad as the coaching staff works to reverse a dangerous decline in form.
Technical Adviser Ashifat Suleiman oversaw the first full training session with the new recruits this week and maintains high expectations for their impact on the pitch. Suleiman believes that this influx of fresh talent will provide the necessary depth and energy to stabilize the team’s defensive and offensive units. The club urgently requires a tactical shift after a disastrous opening to the second stanza of the season, during which the team failed to secure a single victory.
Kwara United currently faces immense pressure from the fanbase as they sit within the relegation zone following a demoralizing four-game winless streak. The administrative board hopes that these strategic signings will inspire a quick turnaround in results starting with their next home fixture. Fans and analysts alike see this recruitment drive as a final attempt to secure the club’s top-flight status before the points gap at the bottom of the table widens further.
Reflecting on the arrival of the new players, Ashifat Suleiman expressed optimism that the new players will contribute to the team’s growth.
