Ekiti United Duo Make NNL Team of the Week Ahead of Akpabio FC Clash
Momentum is building around Ekiti United Football Club as Damilola Adeyeye and Ayodeji Lawal were named in the Matchday 12 Team of the Week in the Nigeria National League following the club’s commanding victory over Sporting Lagos FC.
Both players delivered commanding performances as Ekiti United secured a convincing 3–0 win against Sporting Lagos, a result that reinforced the Ado-Ekiti side’s growing momentum in Conference B of the league.
The victory pushed Ekiti United to third place on the Conference B standings with 21 points and a goal difference of +3 from 11 matches. Sporting Lagos remain second on the table with the same number of points but with a superior goal difference of +6 after the same number of games.
With the home triumph now behind them, Ekiti United will shift focus to their next challenge — an away encounter against Godswill Akpabio FC at the Uyo Township Stadium in Uyo. The Matchday 13 fixture, initially scheduled for Saturday, has been moved to Sunday, March 8, with kickoff set for 3 p.m.
While the Ekiti side has maintained an impressive record at the Oluyemi Kayode Stadium in Ado‑Ekiti this season, collecting all available home points, the team is still searching for its first point on the road. The clash in Uyo therefore presents another opportunity for the Oluyemi Kayode Stadium outfit to break their away jinx and further strengthen their promotion ambitions.
Confidence within the squad may also be boosted by their earlier meeting this season, when Ekiti United edged Godswill Akpabio FC 2–1 in their Matchday encounter on Dec. 14, 2025.
