Akwa United signed a two-year partnership deal with Ibom Air in October 2025, with the airline supporting the club as it seeks to return to the top flight.
The team has been in closed camping in Eket since Monday, October 19, 2026, as Head Coach Paul Offor and his technical crew work on their tactics, fitness and team preparation ahead of the new campaign.
The ten-day camping exercise is expected to help the players build the understanding and discipline needed for the challenges of the new season.
Akwa United narrowly missed promotion to the NPFL last season, finishing one point short of their target. The club is now determined to make a stronger push for promotion in the 2026/2027 campaign.
The Promise Keepers will begin their new NNL season against Ekiti United on November 8, 2026, at the Uyo Township Stadium.
