Football returns with full force in Zone 6 of the Northern Regional Football Association Division Two League, as teams prepare to battle for glory and local pride.
Mole Nationals, a household name in the zone, will play their first home match of the season this Sunday against Daboya Young Stars. After enduring months of uncertainty, logistical challenges, and public dissatisfaction over management decisions, the club has reinstated its former leadership, bringing renewed hope to both players and supporters. The return of the old management is seen as a step towards restoring order, discipline, and long-term planning. Sunday’s fixture is more than just a football match, it’s a fresh start.
On the other hand, Yagbon Stars SC will travel to Daboya on Saturday to take on Wasipe FC in what will be their penultimate match of the season. Unlike previous seasons, Yagbon Stars have undergone serious preparation ahead of this campaign. The club has appointed a new head coach, Coach Kaka, whose leadership has brought structure and renewed tactical discipline to the team. New training kits, equipment, and logistics have also been secured, boosting team morale and raising expectations among the fanbase. With such commitment, fans believe this could be Yagbon Stars’ breakout season.
Meanwhile, Blue City FC, the new boys from Busunu, are getting ready to taste Division Two football for the first time. Promoted from Division Three, Blue City FC has already made headlines off the pitch. The team now has a new CEO, Kasha, son of the late Sandapewura Alhaji Muniru Limuna. His timely arrival has transformed the club’s outlook, as he provided 28 new pairs of football boots, bibs, and other essential training gear to prepare the squad for the challenge ahead. Though they are on standby this weekend, excitement is building for their debut match next week.
As Zone 6 kicks off, the stories of struggle, preparation, and fresh beginnings set the tone for what promises to be an electric football season. From the experienced Mole Nationals to the rejuvenated Yagbon Stars and the hungry debutants Blue City FC, the competition is wide open, and the fans are ready.
