A team formed Six months ago, is currently leading a group in the NNL, that sound interesting, right?.

The last time, Kada City lost a game was when they went to Abuja to  face NAF FC.

After an impressive run through the first round of the NNL, Coach of the side Shola Ibrahim Adewuyi  has this to say about his team.

"With much respect I have said it before, i take all the matches in serious manner, because other teams are keen for promotion just as we are, but with much hardwork, seriousness & respect for our opponents, i believe we will make the playoffs.

"We have made it as mandate with all the players that our target is to qualify the team to the NPFL. The team’s brilliant performance so far is based on the target set before the commencement of the new Bet9ja NNL season, which has really helped the team a lot. Adewuyi continued.

"Most of these boys are youths and also I must thank everybody in the team for a job well done. It’s not an individual effort at all, it’s a collective effort and we will try and keep to our best till the last minutes. He said.

"I must be honest, the management of the club are doing what they are supposed to do and that is why we are getting the result and we have to keep doing that till the end and get promoted to the NPFL’’.

"When we won the kaduna State FA pre season tournament, I told the players that winning the tournament is nothing without showing it at the NNL, So we set a target for ourselves before the start of the season, that we have to play well & win matches away from home if we want to gain promotion  to the NPFL. We don’t want our dominance alone at home, we wanted to take it to away games and I can remember vividly that teams that got promoted to the NPFL won a good number of away games. He concluded.
