Ekiti United Set for Crucial Home Clash Against Akwa United in NNL Week 3
Ekiti United FC will host Akwa United FC at the Oluyemi Kayode Stadium on Sunday, 30 November 2025, at 3 p.m., in one of the standout fixtures of the Nigeria National League (NNL) Week 3 schedule.
The Ado-Ekiti side enters the fixture with three points from two matches. Ekiti United opened their 2025/2026 campaign with a victory over Stormers SC before falling 2–1 to Rovers FC in Calabar—a match overshadowed by contentious officiating that led to the indefinite suspension of Referee Victor Nyah following an NFF Refereeing Committee review.
Match Week 3 presents another stern test, as Ekiti United face Akwa United, a side relegated from the NPFL last season and currently in strong form. Akwa United sit second on the Group standings after winning their opening two matches, while Ekiti United hold sixth place.
The home team completed their final training session on Saturday, with the squad expressing confidence ahead of the encounter. Players emphasized their commitment to securing a positive result and called on supporters to fill the stands and drive the team forward.
The NNL has also confirmed that the fixture will be one of the five matches selected for live streaming in Week 3, placing added attention on a contest that could shape early-season momentum for both teams.
Ekiti United will look to capitalize on home advantage as they aim to climb the standings and steady their campaign against a high-flying Akwa United side determined to maintain their perfect start.
