The Osun State Football Association (FA) has hailed the progress of Igbajo Utd, a Community-Owned Football Club, following their superlative performance in the course of the league and the subsequent playoffs.

Igbajo United emerged as the winner of Osogbo Centre of the Nationwide League One Division One, before moving to Ado Ekiti where Abray Sports was put to the sword in the first promotion playoff before capping it up with Nigeria National League status in Benin, Edo State on Sunday, following another tricky victory over fellow NLO campaigners FC Ebedei.

“We want to congratulate the victorious United, Osun State Government and Igbajo Community. These young guns deserve accolades from all and sundry, as the state will parade two clubs in the forthcoming Nigeria National League 2024/2025 Season. 

“We therefore call on state government to extend the hand of fellowship to the club by rewarding the lads.”
