Akwa United to face Blessed Stars Academy in a friendly match today
Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) club Akwa United FC will take on Blessed Stars Academy in a friendly match today, Friday, September 19, 2024.
The game is scheduled to kick off at 4 PM at the Practice Pitch of the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo.
Akwa United, under the tutelage of Coach Baba Ganaru, were originally set to face Enyimba FC in a Matchday 2 NPFL fixture this Sunday.
However, that match has been postponed due to Enyimba’s continental engagement against Burkina Faso’s Etoile Filante in the CAF Confederation Cup, also taking place at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium on September 22.
In a bid to maintain match fitness and momentum, Akwa United have arranged the friendly encounter against high-flying Blessed Stars Academy. The academy, coached by Ubong Vincent, is eager to test their players against the 2021 NPFL champions as they prepare for upcoming scouting tournaments within and outside Akwa Ibom State.
Today’s match promises to be a competitive encounter, with both teams looking to sharpen their tactics and performance ahead of their respective commitments.
