2025/2026 NPFL Match Day 4 Preview: Gov. Mutfwang Rallies Plateau United FC Ahead of Remo Stars Clash

Posted : 13 September 2025

Plateau United’s troubled start to the 2025/26 Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) season may have found a turning point as sports-loving Governor Caleb Mutfwang paid a morale-boosting visit to the club’s home ground, the New Jos International Stadium, pledging full support to restore the team’s winning tradition.

The Peace Boys, as the 2017 NPFL champions are fondly called, remain without a win after three weeks of action in the 2025/2026 season. They have endured a turbulent opening spell as the club restructures under new management and a fresh technical crew.

Confidence among fans had begun to dip, but the governor’s visit has been widely interpreted as a rallying call — not just for the players, but for the entire Plateau sporting community.

Plateau United now face a mountain to climb on Match Day 4 as they host Remo Stars of Ikenne, the league's defending champions and current table toppers.

Ahead of the game, Gov. Mutfwang urged the team to remain focused and resilient, stressing that the state government recognizes the club as a symbol of pride and unity.

"Football is more than just a game here on the Plateau; it is part of our identity. Plateau United has carried our name with honor in the past, and I have no doubt that the time is now for you to rise again," he told the players and coaching staff.

His visit comes just before the highly anticipated home clash against the defending champions, Remo Stars — a fixture many analysts believe could spark Plateau United’s season revival.

With kickoff looming on Sunday at the New Jos International Stadium, the governor’s visit sends a clear message: the entire Plateau is uniting behind Plateau United in what could mark the beginning of a season of redemption.
