2026/2027 Euromatch NPFL Match Day 13: Eunisell Backs Abia Warriors to Revive Continental Ambitions

Posted : 15 November 2026

Abia Warriors will seek to reignite their Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) campaign when they travel to Lagos on Sunday to face Inter Lagos in a Matchday 13 fixture, with sponsors Eunisell expressing confidence in the club's continental ambitions.

The Umu Chineke have endured an inconsistent start to the 2026/2027 season, a disappointing contrast to their impressive performance last term, when they narrowly missed securing a continental ticket.

However, the club's sponsor, Eunisell, believes the current struggles will not define their campaign, insisting that Abia Warriors have the quality and determination to finish among the league's leading sides.

The oil and gas company says it remains committed to supporting the Umuahia-based club, stressing that its involvement goes beyond commercial branding to promoting sustainable football development in Nigeria.

Eunisell founder, Chika Ikenga, said the partnership reflects the company's belief in football as a vehicle for social development, community engagement and economic opportunities.

“We believe that meaningful corporate participation goes beyond supporting an activity or associating with an institution.

“It is about recognising the potential that exists within our communities and contributing to an environment where that potential can flourish.

“Football has an extraordinary ability to bring people together, create opportunities and inspire ambition. Our partnership with Abia Warriors reflects our belief that businesses have a role to play in supporting that progress,” Ikenga said.

He noted that football clubs play important roles beyond competition, providing career opportunities for young people while promoting discipline, teamwork, leadership and resilience.

According to him, clubs also strengthen community identity, generate economic activities and give supporters a sense of belonging.

Eunisell maintained that Nigeria possesses abundant football talent but requires sustained investment, professional management and stronger institutional structures to translate that potential into lasting success.

The company added that improving the standard of the NPFL demands collective responsibility from football administrators, clubs, corporate sponsors and supporters.

Ikenga said corporate partnerships built on long-term commitment could strengthen the domestic football ecosystem and encourage higher professional standards.

“These ideas capture the broader philosophy behind the Eunisell-Abia Warriors partnership: supporting the institutions that sustain football, recognising the people whose commitment gives it meaning and contributing to opportunities for the next generation.

“Nigeria has abundant football talent, but sustained excellence requires more than individual ability. It demands investment, professional structures, effective administration and opportunities for development,” he said.

He added that the future of Nigerian football would depend not only on players but also on institutions, communities and corporate partners willing to invest in the growth of the game.

For Abia Warriors, Sunday's encounter against Inter Lagos offers another opportunity to translate that backing into improved performances as they pursue a stronger league finish and renewed hopes of continental qualification.
