Why we sacked 22 players – Kwara Utd chair

The Chairman of Kwara United, Kumbi Titiloye, has said the 22 players recently disengaged by the club were released under varying reasons which include overseas opportunities.

He said “The process of transfers and player acquisitions at the commencement and conclusion of seasons can be rather intricate.

“Players depart for a multitude of reasons; some due to more enticing opportunities overseas, others because they were deemed surplus to requirements, while a few left through mutual agreement”.

He also expressed the club’s ambition to secure a top position in the league in order to embark on a continental campaign.

“We are no longer content with being underestimated. Contrary to popular belief, Kwara United stands as one of the top five clubs in the nation,” he asserted.

Furthermore, the chairman implored the club’s supporters to exhibit patience throughout the recruitment process, acknowledging the anxieties often associated with the transfer window.

“We all share a deep affection for this club and aspire to see it flourish.

“Hence, I humbly beseech the fans of Kwara United to display understanding and forbearance towards us,” Titiloye concluded.

It will be recalled that the club’s General Manager, Bashir Badawiy had revealed that after the sack of the 22 players, 23 top stars from the NPFL have been recruited to strengthen the club ahead of the 2024/25 NPFL season.
