NPFL Final Showdown: Enyimba Set for Pride Battle Against Plateau United in Season’s Last Dance

 

As the curtain falls on a thrilling 2024/25 Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) season, the Enyimba International Stadium in Aba is set to witness one final spectacle – a battle of pride, passion, and purpose as Enyimba FC welcome Plateau United in their season-ending clash on Sunday, May 25th at 4:00pm.

While the title race has been long decided and continental hopes extinguished for both sides, this fixture carries far more than just three points. It’s about identity. It’s about pride. It’s about finishing with heads held high in front of loyal fans who have stood tall through the highs and lows.

For the People’s Elephant, it is a moment of reckoning. Head Coach Stanley Eguma, who took charge with ambition and authority, will be rallying his troops for one final charge – a chance to leave a lasting impression and underline the club’s enduring pedigree. Despite narrowly missing out on a continental ticket, Eguma and his players are determined to close out the season with a statement win.

Their opponents, Plateau United – the resilient Peace Boys from Jos – may have nothing tangible left to fight for, but their badge and reputation remain on the line. This is a team that has shared honors evenly with Enyimba since 2010: 7 wins apiece and 4 draws in 18 meetings. The last encounter in Jos ended in a stalemate. Sunday offers a chance to tip the scales.

Enyimba know what this game means to their fans – a fanbase whose voice echoes through Aba like a storm, rain or shine. The team owes them a performance, a victory, and a parting gift to cherish through the offseason.

As the NPFL reaches its “Last Dance”, expect fireworks, flying tackles, moments of magic, and raw emotion. It’s more than a match. It’s a final act of defiance, a tribute to tradition, and a bold statement of intent ahead of what promises to be a revitalized campaign next season.

Enyimba vs Plateau United – not just a match, but a battle for pride, glory, and the badge.
