Ikorodu City FC Roars Back with BetKing’s Support in a Thrilling 4-2 Victory Over Lobi Stars
Ikorodu City FC, backed by their major sponsor BetKing, is making a powerful comeback in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) following a challenging start to their season.
The Lagos-based club recently thrilled fans with a stunning 4-2 victory over Lobi Stars, lifting them from the bottom of the NPFL table to 18th place, ahead of Akwa United and Lobi Stars of Makurdi. This resurgence, fueled by BetKing’s support, has seen Ikorodu City FC score seven goals across their last two matches, both ending in victory and marking a significant improvement in form.
The “Oga Boys” have collected eight out of a possible nine points in their last three matches, signaling a promising turnaround. Their recent results include a 3-0 triumph over Bendel Insurance at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena, a hard-fought 1-1 draw with Heartland FC in Owerri, and a close match against Enyimba of Aba, where they narrowly lost 2-1 to the former CAF champions. Despite the defeat, the team showcased remarkable resilience and determination, competing fiercely against one of Nigeria’s top clubs.
BetKing’s commitment to Ikorodu City FC has gone beyond financial support since their partnership began in 2023. The betting giant has provided resources and encouragement essential to the club’s growth, both on and off the field. The newly promoted club has faced tough opponents like Kano Pillars, Enugu Rangers, and Nasarawa United, recording losses in these early encounters. However, with BetKing’s backing, Ikorodu City FC is finding its footing and building momentum to climb the NPFL table.
As the “Oga Boys” continue their journey in the NPFL, BetKing’s sponsorship is a driving force in their pursuit of sustained success. With seven points from their last three matches and a renewed spirit, Ikorodu City FC is poised to make its mark on Nigerian football.
Fans can look forward to more thrilling performances as the club fights for its place in the top tier of the NPFL.
