Asisat Oshoala Celebrates Inter Lagos After Historic Promotion to the NPFL

Posted : 09 April 2026

Nigeria women's football icon Asisat Oshoala has officially congratulated Inter Lagos FC following their promotion to the Nigeria Premier Football League. The club secured their top-flight status on Monday after playing out a 1–1 draw against Smart City FC. The decisive match took place at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena, which also serves as the home ground for Ikorodu City.

The result ensured that Inter Lagos finished at the summit of the Nigeria National League Conference A table. The team amassed 29 points from 15 matches to clinch the promotion spot with one game still remaining in the season. Oshoala took to social media to share her excitement with the club’s chairman, Lanre Vigo. In a video reel, she praised the leadership of the club for achieving this milestone in a short period.

Lanre Vigo expressed deep emotion regarding the success of the project he started in 2023. He recalled the early days of the club and noted that he was speechless about reaching the elite division so quickly. Vigo promised that Inter Lagos would bring a brand of entertaining football to the NPFL. He stated that the club's primary goal now is to enjoy the journey and ensure they survive their first season in the top tier.

The promotion of Inter Lagos could significantly increase the number of Lagos-based teams in the Nigerian top flight. Sporting Lagos is currently in a strong position to join Inter Lagos and Ikorodu City in the NPFL for the upcoming season. The NNL rules stipulate that the winners of the four conferences earn automatic promotion. Inter Lagos is the second team to confirm their place this year, following Doma United.

Before the new season begins, the four promoted conference winners will participate in the NNL Super 4 play-off. This final tournament will take place in Ikenne to determine the overall champion of the second-tier league. Inter Lagos has quickly established a strong local fanbase since its inception just three years ago. Their rapid ascent is seen as a major boost for professional football in the commercial capital of Nigeria.
