Warri Wolves’ Super Eight ticket thrills Delta govt

After spending three years in the Nigeria National League (NNL), Warri Wolves FC is on the verge of gaining promotion to the elite division after booking its place in the NNL 2025 Super Eight Playoffs.

Warri Wolves FC and Crown FC of Ogbomoso picked their tickets from the Southern Conference Group A. Both teams will join Kun Khalifat FC, while the final spot in the Southern Conference Group B is between Osun United and Rovers FC of Calabar.

The NNL Super Eight Playoffs is scheduled to hold in Asaba, Delta State.

Speaking with The Guardian, yesterday, the Chief Executive Officer of Warri Wolves FC, Neville Ambakederemo, said that the team’s Super Eight ticket means a lot to the government and people of Delta State.

“It means a lot to me, the players and the coaching crew,” he said. “It also means so much to the Executive Chairman of the Delta State Sports Commission.”

Also, speaking, the immediate past Director General of Delta Sports Commission, Festus Ohwojero said: “Securing the Super Eight ticket is a thing of joy because the dream of the Sports Commission is to see Warri Wolves play in the Premier League, especially at the Warri Stadium, which is currently being re-modelled.

Warri Wolves have been in the NNL for three seasons now. The Super Eight competition will be held in Asaba, but there is no date yet,” Ohwojero said.
