The Chairman of Adamawa United Football Club, Mr Emmanuel Zira, has said the team was relegated from the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL)
With four matches to go in the 2020/2021 Nigeria Professional Football League campaign, Adamawa United was officially relegated from the league after they lost 4-0 to Dakkada FC towards last weekend.The Adamawa United Chairman who spoke to newsmen at the club secretariat in the Bekaji area of Jimeta, Yola, said poor funding first damned the team 15 years ago.
“What happened this season is a replica of what relegated Adamawa United in 2006 from the NPFL. Funding of the club was a setback to the performance of the players. In the 2006/2007 season the club received funding when it remained only two matches to round off the season,” he explained. “Things went well only in the first month of the league. The following months, inhouse crisis erupted in the club. The club was not funded.”
“This saved Adamawa United which was at the bottom of the league table from being relegated in the last season,” he explained, adding however that the team did not learn from the past mistake.
