Amuneke Aims for NPFL Promotion with Heartland FC
Emmanuel Amuneke, the current coach of Heartland FC, has set a goal to guide the team to the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) for the next season, ahead of the 2026-27 Nigeria National League (NNL) campaign. Heartland FC, based in Owerri, Nigeria, missed out on promotion last season, finishing third in NNL Group B. The new NNL campaign will commence with a home match against Crown FC on November 1, 2026.
Amuneke expressed his desire to see Heartland FC return to the NPFL quickly, stating that he understands the importance of processes in achieving goals. He noted that the pre-season matches were crucial for assessing new players and developing a suitable playing style for the upcoming season.
Amuneke mentioned that the team played friendly matches against Enyimba and Akwa United, which helped in evaluating potential new players and establishing a competitive pattern for the team.
