NNL 2025/26 Kickoff: Mighty Jets Set to Face FC Basira in Season Opener

Posted : 07 November 2025

The long-awaited 2025/2026 Nigeria National League (NNL) season, Nigeria’s second-tier football competition and a gateway to the top-flight Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL), is finally set to kick off.

 

Since the NNL Board announced November 8 as the official kickoff date, Mighty Jets Int’l FC of Jos, along with other teams in the league, have intensified their preparations ahead of the new campaign.

 

As is tradition, a single star match will herald the start of the season. The curtain-raiser will feature FC Basira of Lafia against Mighty Jets Int’l FC of Jos at the Lafia City Stadium.

 

A major positive turnaround for Mighty Jets Int’l FC this season has been the deliberate effort by the club’s management to appoint a seasoned professional, Coach Ere Dokubo, as Technical Adviser to steer the team to greater heights.

 

Known for his strict discipline and zero tolerance for mediocrity, Dokubo has already reignited excitement among Mighty Jets supporters, who are optimistic about their team’s chances of topping their group and securing automatic promotion to the NPFL.

 

Just like last season, Mighty Jets Int’l FC will compete in Group C of the Northern Conference, alongside some notable teams, including Lobi Stars, who were recently relegated from the NPFL.

 

Interestingly, FC Basira of Lafia are managed by Aminu Musa, a former Mighty Jets goalkeeper and coach — adding an emotional twist to the fixture.

 

The opening match of the NNL season is scheduled for Saturday, November 8, at the Lafia City Stadium, Nasarawa State.
