2024/2025 NPFL Match Day 38: Abia Warriors will be relentless against Ikorodu City FC, says Nwoburuoke

Posted : 25 May 2025

As Abia Warriors prepare to navigate the last match of the 2024/2025 Nigeria Premier Football League season, Warriors centre-back Collins Nwoburuoke says they are approaching the match with all seriousness.


Having qualified for continental football competition next season with a hard-fought victory over El-Kanemi Warriors of Maiduguri in the last league fixture — a feat that drew wild jubilation from the Warriors family and followers — Umu Chineke have now turned their attention to their last league fixture of the season against Ikorodu City. During a chat, Nwoburuoke said the Warriors will go all out for maximum points as they want more from this season.


"We got to the continent when nobody believed in us. Yes, there are celebrations in Umuahia, everybody is happy with us, but like I said before, we want more and we're very focused on getting the job done in Lagos," the Warriors centre-back said.


When asked about the threat posed by Ikorodu City FC, Nwoburuoke said, "We did it in Umuahia; we can still do it again in Lagos.


"We want more, and getting a win could take us to the CAF Champions League depending on the result in Port Harcourt (between Rivers United and Nasarawa United). We are going all out for the three points."


Abia Warriors and Ikorodu City will be meeting for the second time in history. In the reverse fixture, Umu Chineke were 2-0 winners at the Umuahia Township Stadium.


The Warriors are currently occupying third position on the league table with 60 points after 37 league games, while Ikorodu City is in 4th position with 56 points, just behind Umu Chineke.


There is no injury concern in the Abia Warriors camp.


The Warriors have arrived in Lagos, the venue of the Matchday 38 clash. They will have a feel of the Mobolaji Johnson Arena pitch later today ahead of the game on Sunday.
