NPFL: Imama targets opening-day win in Abia Warriors, Kun Khalifat derby

Abia Warriors technical adviser, Imama Amapakabo, has declared his team’s readiness for the new season, DAILY POST reports.

The Umuahia club will host Kun Khalifat FC in their opening fixture of the 2026/27 Nigeria Premier Football League, NPFL, season at the Enyimba International Stadium in Aba on Sunday.

Imama said it is important for the team to start new season on a winning note.

“It’s always important to start on a good footing,” the former Super Eagles assistant coach told the club’s official website.

“We’ve talked about it as players and as individuals. Everyone understands what it means to begin with a win.”

Abia Warriors finished in a disappointing seventh position last season.
