Plateau United Target 2026/27 NPFL Title and CAF Champions League Return

Plateau United Target 2026/27 NPFL Title and CAF Champions League Return

Plateau United chairman Alhassan Yakmut says the club has been mandated by Governor Caleb Mutfwang to win the 2026/27 Nigeria Premier Football League title and return to continental football. Yakmut spoke after the NPFL Annual General Meeting in Ibadan, saying the club is using lessons from the 2025/26 season to strengthen its preparations. Technical adviser Gbenga Ogunbote has extended his contract and is expected to lead recruitment for the new campaign. Plateau United last played in a CAF club competition in 2022/23. They were eliminated by Esperance of Tunisia in the CAF Champions League preliminary round before losing to Al-Akhdar of Libya in the Confederation Cup.

A clear mandate from the governor gives the club a defined target, but the 2026/27 campaign will still demand consistency.

Setting the title as the mandate is ambitious, though continental football should follow strong league performance rather than just be announced.

Plateau United should turn the mandate into measurable steps: steady league results, squad planning, and regular updates on progress.
