2026/2027 EuroMatch NPFL Match Day 13: Kwara United Target Rivers United Scalp to Revive NPFL Campaign

Posted : 14 November 2026

Kwara United will be aiming to reignite their Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) campaign when they host Rivers United in a crucial Matchday 13 encounter on Sunday in Ilorin.

The Harmony Boys will welcome the Port Harcourt-based side to the Rashidi Yekini Mainbowl of the George Innih Stadium, determined to turn their home advantage into maximum points.

Beyond the three points at stake, the encounter offers Kwara United an opportunity to rewrite an unpleasant chapter in their recent history against Rivers United.

Last season, the Ilorin-based side were held to a 1-1 draw at home before suffering defeat in the return fixture, allowing Rivers United to come close to securing a league double.

That record has provided additional motivation for the hosts, who are eager to reward their loyal supporters with a convincing performance and victory.

The technical crew has also received a boost with goalkeeper Ouattara Khalifa, Tosin Olawale and Tosin Adegbite returning to light training following their respective injury concerns.

However, Sani Mohammed, Gabriel Abutu and Adeshina Gata remain unavailable as they continue their rehabilitation.

A victory would be particularly significant for Kwara United, given the demanding schedule awaiting them, with successive away fixtures against Sporting Lagos and Niger Tornadoes.

Securing maximum points on Sunday would therefore provide the confidence and momentum needed to approach the challenging assignments with renewed determination.

The club is consequently counting on massive support from its fans, football stakeholders and lovers of the Harmony Boys to create an atmosphere capable of inspiring the players.

Supporters have been advised to purchase their match tickets early through the Chowdeck App or designated physical vendors around the stadium.

They have also been urged to maintain order, demonstrate sportsmanship and conduct themselves responsibly throughout the encounter.

For Kwara United, the assignment goes beyond ending their disappointing run against Rivers United; it is an opportunity to restore home confidence, strengthen their campaign and reconnect with their supporters through a vital victory.
