2024/2025 NPFL Match Day 30: El-Kanemi Warriors take reinforcement to Katsina United's home

Posted : 23 March 2025

Northern football fans can look forward to thrilling matchups as historic rivals face off in the 2024/2025 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Match Day 30 fixtures, which have pitched Katsina United FC against their northern rivals, El-Kanemi Warriors of Maiduguri.

For the Desert Warriors, it will be a perfect opportunity to protect their dignity in the mid-table as they sit in 11th position, which should be decent for them after coming from relegation to compete in the NPFL.

With 29 games gone and nine matches remaining, the NPFL heads into an exciting weekend, with mid-table clubs looking forward to consolidating their positions on the league table.

El-Kanemi Warriors will also look to protect their record in the league as they travel to Umar Dikko Stadium in Katsina to take on the Changi Boys in what promises to be a thrilling all-northern encounter.

El-Kanemi have displayed resilience this season, consistently pulling off solid performances. Yet, the challenge posed by Katsina United—a team known for its tactical strength and passionate fan base—could put their streak to the test.

The match is set to unfold in an electric atmosphere, with both sides boasting devoted supporters. El-Kanemi’s solid defense and timely goal-scoring have been key to their success, while Katsina United’s technical acumen in attack and dynamic offensive play make them a dangerous opponent, especially on home turf.

The outcome will hinge on whether 14th-placed Katsina United on the NPFL log can maintain their defensive strength or if El-Kanemi Warriors can find openings to capitalize on.

El-Kanemi Warriors’ Technical Adviser, Aliyu Zubairu, who was on national assignment with the Flying Eagles, will return to the dugout to mastermind his side’s victory over one of the darling clubs of the northern region.
