Nasarawa United head coach Moga Stephen has made a heartfelt plea to supporters to continue backing the team during a challenging period in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL). The Solid Miners have gone three matches without a win and are seeking positive momentum as the season progresses.
Stephen stressed the importance of unity and fan support, saying continued encouragement could help his side regain form and maintain their push toward a strong league finish.
The current run without victory has seen Nasarawa United drop valuable points, but the team remains in a competitive position in the NPFL standings. Stephen acknowledged the pressure that comes with poor form and appealed to fans to stay behind the club.
“We are a team and we work together to get results. We don’t depend on one player to do everything,” Stephen said, emphasising that collective effort will be key to turning fortunes around.
The Solid Miners are aiming to break their sequence of draws and losses with a home fixture that could be buoyed by vocal support from fans at the Lafia City Stadium.
Despite the recent winless run, Nasarawa United are still positioned strongly on the NPFL table with 41 points from 25 matches, well placed for a push toward continental qualification spots if they can arrest their slide.
Coach Stephen’s appeal comes at a moment when the Solid Miners need belief both on and off the pitch, and home support could provide a crucial lift as they aim to end their drought.
Editorial
Stephen’s call for fan solidarity highlights the often overlooked role that support from the terraces plays in the NPFL. Nigerian football crowds can be passionate and influential, especially in home matches where atmosphere can inspire players to lift their performances. A united stadium backing could be the spark Nasarawa United need to turn around a difficult spell.
For a club that has shown it can compete with the best in the league, maintaining belief during a slump is vital. The psychological boost of fan support, especially during key phases of the season, cannot be underestimated. As the team battles to regain form, an energised home crowd could make the Lafia City Stadium a fortress once again.
Ultimately, Stephen’s message is as much about football as it is about community. NPFL teams often draw strength from their supporters, and Nasarawa United’s ability to reconnect with fans could influence their trajectory in the second half of the campaign.
