Nasarawa United Targets Continental Qualification in NPFL
Nasarawa United is focused on achieving a top-three finish in the Nigeria Premier Football League for the 2026/27 season to secure a continental ticket. After finishing sixth last season, just four points behind third-placed Shooting Stars, the Lafia-based club is determined to improve.
Under the guidance of coach Mbwas Mangut, Nasarawa United has recorded three wins, two draws, and three losses in their first eight matches. Club media director Eche Amos stated that the team's performances indicate progress, noting that they have struggled away from home, losing all away games except for one draw.
However, they have managed to secure some wins at home. Amos emphasized the need for the team to leverage their home advantage and strive for draws and wins in away matches.
Nasarawa United's next league fixture is against Inter Lagos in Lagos this weekend.
