Mighty Jets Feeders will take the next step in their quest for promotion to the Nigeria National League (NNL) when they compete in the Nationwide League One (NLO) Promotion Playoffs in Lafia, Nasarawa State, from July 2 to July 8.
The Jos-based side earned their place in the playoffs after emerging as Plateau State champions, defeating Plateau United U-19 5-4 on penalties following a goalless draw in the state final.
Now, a bigger challenge awaits.
Mighty Jets Feeders have been drawn in North-Central Slot 5, where they will face three fellow state champions in a battle for promotion. Their opponents are Bida Lions FC of Niger State, La-Planet FC of Kwara State and Flight FC of Benue State.
The Plateau champions begin their campaign against Bida Lions on July 2 before facing La-Planet on July 4. They will wrap up the playoffs against Flight FC on July 6, with all matches scheduled to take place at the Lafia Township Stadium.
Having successfully navigated the Jos Centre and overcome Plateau United U-19 to claim state honours, Mighty Jets Feeders now carry Plateau State’s hopes into a fiercely contested playoff featuring the best teams from across the North-Central region.
Mighty Jets Feeders will kick off their promotion playoff campaign against Niger State champions,Bida Lions FC on Wednesday, July 2, with kick-off scheduled for 10:00 a.m. at the Lafia Township Stadium. A positive start would hand the Plateau champions early momentum in their bid to secure promotion to Nigeria’s second-tier league.
