In preparation for the upcoming pre-season tournament in Ikenne, Shooting Stars Football Club, popularly known as the Oluyole Warriors, has taken the initiative to embark on a close camping to fine-tune their strategies and sharpen their skills.
The team recently showcased their determination and potential in a test game against Utility Sporting, securing a victory with a lone goal scored by Malomo Toafeek at the Dipo Dina Stadium on Saturday.
Under the guidance of their head coach, Gbenga Ogunbote, the Shooting Stars have been resolute in building a fresh and formidable team that aims to compete for laurels in the forthcoming Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) season.
Ogunbote’s commitment to shaping the squad has been evident throughout the training sessions and friendlies, with a focus on optimizing their performance in the highly competitive league.
Following an unimpressive 2022-23 NPFL campaign, which saw them finish in the fifth position, Shooting Stars experienced a significant departure of players. However, the club’s management and coaching staff have been proactive in assembling a new crop of talent to fill the gaps and bolster the team’s prospects for the upcoming season.
As they prepare for the pre-season tournament, Shooting Stars’ close camping will provide a conducive environment for team bonding and tactical development. The camaraderie among the players, coupled with the astute guidance of Coach Gbenga Ogunbote, has set the stage for an encouraging buildup to the new NPFL season.
With a renewed sense of purpose and promising performances in the preseason, Shooting Stars FC is gearing up to reestablish their dominance in Nigerian football. The Oluyole Warriors are determined to make their mark in the league and aim for an impressive campaign that may see them vying for top honors in the upcoming season. Football enthusiasts eagerly await the team’s progress in the pre-season tournament, anticipating an exciting and fiercely competitive display from the revitalized Shooting Stars.
