Kudos, Akwa Utd Supporters Club

Kunle Adewale

Supporters are said to be 12th player and have severally motivated their teams to victory. Clubs like Liverpool rely a lot on their fans to win matches most especially when it’s on their home ground – Anfield.

If there is a prize for supporters’ club in the ongoing Naija Super 8 taking place at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena, I think Akwa United Supporters club should win it.

In spite of their team’s not too impressive performance and down by two goals for better part of the encounter against Lobi Stars, the club’s supporters club members were not deterred as they sang and drummed throughout the encounter.

Other Nigerian clubs should borrow a leaf from this. It’s not only when a side is wining that the voices of their supporters should be heard.

Moving forward, I think organisers of the Naija Super 8, Flykite Productions, should look in the direction of awarding a prize for the best supporters club.
