Inter Lagos FC have expressed optimism to gain promotion into the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) as they prepare ahead of the 2023/2024 Nigeria National League (NNL) Super 8 play-off billed to kick off June 7 in Enugu state.
It could be recalled that eight teams qualified for the second-tier league playoff after completing the abridged league format. Among the eight teams, three are from Lagos.
In an interview with Daily Trust, the club’s Chief Operating Officer Tosin Fashoyin assured that the team will not rest their oar to replicate Sporting Lagos’ feat of securing the ticket to the top-flight the same year they debuted in the second-tier league.
She envisaged that the presence of the two clubs at the top-flight league would bring to life fans’ experience of local football.
