The Chairman Gombe State Football Association, Mr. Filibus Yakubu Sarma, has congratulated all Gombe State football teams that are representing the state in various domestic leagues.
In a statement, the Chairman said he was proud of the progress made by the clubs especially the two Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) clubs, Gombe United and Doma United in the 2023 abridged season.
He said “I congratulate the Gombe state football family for what we have achieved together so far, especially this year. I am proud of what Gombe United and Doma United have done in the NPFL.
“They played in an abridge league that is difficult but kudos to them all for maintaining their NPFL statuses. As we all saw, Doma United almost picked the Super Six play-off spot but all the same, we are proud of what they did.
