Despite a challenging start to the 2024/2025 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season, Ikorodu City FC is determined to pursue excellence, thanks in large part to the unwavering support from their major sponsor, BetKing.

The Lagos-based club, newly promoted to the NPFL, has faced formidable opponents like Kano Pillars, Enugu Rangers, and Nasarawa United, resulting in some tough losses. Nevertheless, BetKing’s dedication to the club and the development of Nigerian football remains strong.

Since the beginning of their partnership in 2023, BetKing has played a crucial role in the evolution of Ikorodu City FC. Their support extends beyond just financial assistance; they provide essential resources aimed at enhancing the team’s performance both on and off the field. This ongoing sponsorship aligns with BetKing’s vision to empower local talent and to contribute to the wider Nigerian sports landscape.

The remarkable promotion of Ikorodu City FC to the NPFL this season underscores the dedication and hard work of the team, along with BetKing’s steadfast support. Despite early-season setbacks, BetKing continues to believe in the potential of the “Oga Boys” and stays committed to their long-term success.

BetKing’s Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Gossy Ukanwoke, shared his optimism for Ikorodu City FC’s future and reiterated the company’s commitment to grassroots football. “At BetKing, we understand that every great team experiences ups and downs, and Ikorodu City FC is no exception. We take pride in the progress they’ve made, and despite their current challenges, we are standing by them. Our partnership is founded on a mutual vision of growth and success, and we remain dedicated to helping Ikorodu City FC reach new heights in Nigerian football,” Ukanwoke stated.

Reflecting on the club’s progress, Ikorodu City FC’s CEO/Chairman, Sanmi Doherty, commented, “We have assembled the youngest squad and coaching staff in the NPFL this season. These young players and coaches might not have had the opportunity to compete in Nigeria’s top-flight league without Ikorodu City. We wouldn’t have realized this dream without BetKing’s support. We are optimistic that our young squad will make history this season. We will fight for points in every game, play with passion, and give our all.”

As Ikorodu City FC continues its journey in the NPFL, BetKing remains a steadfast partner, ensuring the club has the support it needs to compete and thrive at the highest level of Nigerian football.
