2025/2026 NPFL Match Day 17: Barau FC Faces Tough Test Against Shooting Stars

Posted : 13 December 2025

Barau FC enters Match Day 17 of the 2025/2026 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) facing a stern challenge against Shooting Stars, as the club works to address growing concerns over its recent performance and management decisions. The team’s President has addressed circulating reports claiming arbitrary salary cuts for players and technical staff, emphasizing that these adjustments were strategic measures rather than punitive actions.

The temporary salary adjustments for October and November were implemented to instill urgency and accountability within the technical team, aiming to improve Barau FC’s results in the ongoing league season. The President highlighted the club’s long-standing commitment to player and staff welfare, stating that Barau FC remains one of the few teams in the league known for supporting its personnel adequately.

In a bid to strengthen the club’s performance, Dominic Lofa has been appointed as General Manager, working alongside Kabiru Baita to identify strategies that will return the Maliya Boys to the winning track. “The decision was never taken without reason. It was necessary to trigger a sense of urgency within the technical team and ensure a stronger response to recent poor results,” the President said.

He reassured fans that Barau FC’s mission is to develop sports in the state and empower youth through job creation, not to punish or neglect anyone. Supporters were urged to disregard misleading reports about the salary adjustments and to continue praying for the team’s success. The President also confirmed that bonuses and salaries could increase if the club secures a top-three finish by the end of the season.

As Barau FC prepares to face Shooting Stars, the team is expected to raise their intensity and focus, aware that their opponents are equally determined to claim vital points in this crucial NPFL clash.
