Enyimba’s stubborn defensive show was undone by a late moment of brilliance and a costly first-half red card, as the People’s Elephant fell 1–0 to Khalifat in a tense, tactical encounter. The result, decided by Ebuka’s curling 67th-minute free kick, left Enyimba ruing missed chances and a lapse in discipline […]
This evening at 4pm, we take another step in this long NPFL journey, and waiting for us this time are the newcomers, Kun Khalifat FC. It is one of those fixtures that looks simple on paper but holds a thousand little stories underneath. A rookie club, privately owned, and still […]
Our next opponents, Kun Khalifat FC, are one of the newest faces in the NPFL, but their rise has been anything but ordinary. The club, founded in 2020 and based in Owerri, has moved fast through the ranks of Nigerian football. In a few short years, they’ve gone from playing […]
There was a time when Enyimba and its fans were one heartbeat. The club was not just a football team; it was a way of life, a symbol of pride, a mirror of Aba’s spirit. The bond was born in the days of dust and drums, when victories came thick […]

The dust is still settling after Sunday’s intense battle in Aba. Many hoped for all three points against the Pride of Rivers, led by our former managers Finidi George and Yemi Olanrewaju, but in the end it was a game of no victor and no vanquished. A draw at home […]
The rain came down in Aba on Sunday, and with it came ninety minutes of tension, effort, and ultimately frustration. Enyimba threw everything they had at Rivers United, dominated the ball, created the clearer chances, and yet walked off the pitch with only one point. It was the kind of […]
The first Sunday of October, and with it comes our first assignment of the new month. We have navigated the uncertainties of August and endured the battles of September, and now October greets us with a fixture worthy of the spotlight. This is not just another league game. It is […]
It is one of those fixtures that does not need any extra build up. The name alone carries enough weight, the stakes speak for themselves. Enyimba versus Rivers United. Two of Nigeria’s biggest football institutions, separated by a few hundred kilometres, bound by familiarity, rivalry, and a growing sense of […]
