Ilorin- Kwara United Football Club of Ilorin will on Saturday begin its friendly matches’ phase of its pre-2014/2015 season preparations with a friendly match against Greater Tomorrow FC of Akure.
Acting Head Coach of the team, Isiaka Gambari, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Thursday in Ilorin that the team was focused on doing better than before.
“We want to do well in the new season, better than before and not just to make up the numbers in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL), when the season begins,’’ he said.
