Nigerian Premier Football League and continental soccer record holders, Enyimba Football Club of Aba, has begun implementing an expansion plan to broaden the club’s reach beyond its current borders, according to the club’s Sporting Director, Ifeanyi Ekwueme.

Speaking in Kano last Tuesday, Ekwueme revealed that the club’s management, led by Atlanta 1996 Olympic gold medalist Kanu Nwankwo, is implementing a new development strategy aimed at expanding the Enyimba brand’s influence across Nigerian, African, and international football landscapes.

“Enyimba FC is a brand that has consistently excelled,” Ekwueme said. “The Kanu Nwankwo administration is building on the club’s heroic achievements by forging connections across Nigeria and beyond.”

The ex-international outlined the club’s plans, which include partnership programs involving exchange programs and coach development initiatives at various levels.

“We now have the necessary development structures in place, with our established youth football and semi-professional talent development programs,” he emphasized. “This is crucial.”

“Enyimba is not a stagnant brand; we are a broad football entity,” Ekwueme continued. “That’s why we’re committed to results-oriented partnerships across Nigeria, expanding to the continent and beyond.”

He acknowledged the challenges the club faces but expressed confidence in the current leadership’s focus and commitment to overcoming these hurdles and taking Enyimba back to the pinnacle of club football, where they rightfully belong.

Ekwueme concluded by appealing to fans and partners to maintain their faith in the Enyimba FC brand. He highlighted the club’s significant improvements in football corporate governance, an administration that is now yielding positive results and will continue to help the “Aba Elephants” improve service delivery and meet the business expectations of all stakeholders.
