At the end of the season, Gbenga Ogunbote, the head coach of the Shooting Stars, is confident his team will earn a ticket to the continent.
With their fourth-place result in the previous season, the Oluyole Warriors just missed out on a spot on the continent.
Despite having a rough start to the season, Shooting Stars have had success in their last few games.
The Ibadan team defeated Kano Pillars 2-0 on Saturday, moving them up to fourth place in the standings.
“We set a target at the beginning of the season, and we’re working towards finishing strong in the first round,” Ogunbote said after the game.
“If we can maintain this momentum until the end of the season, then we have no excuse not to secure a continental ticket. It’s inevitable.”
