November 29, 2019 NPFL: Kwara take over Delta Force slot

Kwara United have taken over the slot of Delta Force FC in the Nigeria Professional Football League.

With this, after a match in the 2019/20 Nigeria National League, Kwara will play in the topflight.

They will continue from week six, after formal registration of the club following the take-over.

Delta Force earlier acquired Kada City of Kaduna State before the start of the current NPFL season.

Kwara in a statement on Thursday said the agreement was sealed after a thorough discussion between the management of the two sides in Delta State, with the General Manager of Kwara, Bashir Badawiy, leading the North Central club’s negotiation team.

Kwara chairman, Clement Titiloye, said that the club was aware of the challenges of doing so, saying; “It’s a development that the stakeholders will also want to support.”

Titiloye commended the Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq for his support and encouragement.

“We are conscious of the challenges that will come with this massive decision, but we know it’s a situation that is redeemable, as the NPFL is just starting,” he said.

Delta are currently in 17th position on the NPFL log with four points after five matches, winning just a game, one drawn three lost three, with minus five goals difference.

Kwara got relegated at the end of last season, and was drawn in Group A2 of the on-going NNL alongside Niger Tornadoes, FC Taraba, Sokoto United, El-Kanemi Warriors, Gombe United, Yobe Desert Stars, Rarara FC, Mighty Jets, EFCC and Real Stars.
