Kun Khalifat rally fans for Wikki visit

Goalkeeper Chijioke Ejiogu has issued a rallying cry to Kun Khalifat FC supporters, urging them to pack the Dan Anyiam Stadium for the team's pivotal Nigeria Premier Football League survival match against Wikki Tourists. The veteran shot-stopper believes the presence of a large and vocal crowd is crucial for lifting the team and making it difficult for the visitors on Sunday.

Kun Khalifat faces relegation if they do not secure a victory on the final day of the season. Ejiogu highlighted the fans' significant impact, referring to them as the "12th man" whose singing can make the playing environment uncomfortable for opponents. He expressed gratitude for their support and stressed the importance of delivering a strong performance for them.

“

We call our supporters the 12th man because they have a huge impact on us. When they sing they make it very uncomfortable for oppositions to play against us. We appreciate their love and gesture.

Club chairman Michelle Amaefula echoed Ejiogu's sentiments, acknowledging the difficulty of the upcoming fixture against a strong Wikki Tourists side. Amaefula emphasized the need for mental preparedness within the squad and appealed for a unified front between the team and its supporters to maximize their chances of retaining their top-flight status. The club is counting on home support to finish the season positively.

“

We would like the fans to come out in their numbers to support us. We need that togetherness.
