Sulaimon Babatunde shed light on Yellow FC’s recent 4-1 defeat against Blue FC, attributing the loss to the absence of key players and the challenge of integrating new faces into the team.

From the match, it shows that the new players did not merge well into the team. That is why we lost today.” Babatunde told Sports 247 in an exclusive interview.
This setback intensifies the pressure on Yellow FC, as they must secure victories in their remaining five matches to thwart Blue FC’s championship ambitions.
Sulaimon Babatunde might not be available for Yellow FC until the end of the season due to his imminent move to Ikorodu United for the upcoming NNL season.
Expressing his excitement about the transfer, Babatunde sees it as a fantastic opportunity, emphasizing that he has long aspired to play in the NNL.
“My moving to Ikorodu City is amazing for me. I am very happy to be in the team. I have been wishing to play in the NNL for long.

This Sunday set playing brought the opportunity to me. I was showcasing myself here last three weeks and I was among the players that did well.
Ikorodu City approached me and said they liked my playing style and would want me to join their team.
I was registered with the team and by next week, the NNL league is starting. I wish myself all the best of luck in the games.”
Babatunde’s journey into the NNL began with standout performances during the Sunday set Ball events, particularly a game where he scored a hat trick.
This remarkable feat catapulted him into the spotlight, opening doors for him to showcase his talents in the competitive NNL.
His advice to aspiring players is to focus on their game, remain resilient in the face of criticism, and aim to play their best football, as opportunities can arise anywhere, even beyond the borders of Africa.
