Inter Lagos manager Shakiru Giwa has confirmed the club is pushing hard to prepare for the 2026/27 Nigeria Premier Football League season. Giwa highlighted that reaching peak physical condition is vital for his squad to handle the challenging travel schedule and high intensity typical of the league.
The coaching staff is currently focusing training programs on enhancing recovery times, speed, and overall endurance. According to Giwa, building a side that remains competitive for the full duration of a match, whether playing at home or on the road, is the main objective. Furthermore, the technical team plans to track the development of each athlete strictly to prevent potential injuries. Inter Lagos made history last season by earning their first promotion to the top flight of Nigerian football.
