Finidi George Targets League Success as Rivers United Prepare for Abia Warriors Clash

Posted : 27 April 2026

Rivers United technical adviser Finidi George has called on his players to carry their recent clinical form into the Nigeria Premier Football League. The "Pride of Rivers" secured a commanding 3-0 victory over Willbros FC in the state Federation Cup final on Sunday. This win served as a vital confidence booster for the squad ahead of a crucial domestic league fixture.

The Port Harcourt-based side is scheduled to host Abia Warriors in a Match Day 36 encounter. This regional contest will take place at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium next weekend. Finidi emphasized the importance of maintaining the same offensive intensity shown in their recent cup triumph.

The former Super Eagles winger acknowledged the difficulty of the upcoming task during a session with the club's media team. He noted that winning the cup final provided the perfect preparation for the league restart. Finidi stated that scoring three goals was an ideal outcome he hopes to see repeated against the Umuahia outfit.

Despite the recent victory, the head coach warned his players against any form of complacency. He described the upcoming match as a difficult challenge that requires maximum effort from every player on the pitch. The tactical focus remains on securing three points to strengthen their position in the league standings.

Abia Warriors are known for their resilience, making this "Oriental Derby" a significant test for Rivers United's title or continental aspirations. The coaching staff plans to use the week to refine tactical patterns and ensure player fitness. Hard work remains the primary requirement according to the manager's recent assessment.

As the NPFL season nears its conclusion, every goal and every point becomes vital for the final table. Rivers United currently look to leverage their home advantage to secure a decisive result. Fans expect a high-energy performance following the coach's public demand for excellence and consistency.
