Currently sitting in 10th position on the NPFL table with 24 points, the Tornadoes recorded six wins, six draws, and seven losses in their opening 19 matches. As they prepare for their upcoming clash against Rangers International on January 25, 2025, the team is determined to climb higher in the standings and improve their overall performance.
The NPFL features 20 teams competing for the league title, and the Tornadoes are known for their passionate fan base, which creates an electrifying atmosphere at their home ground in Minna, Niger State.
Efforts are underway to elevate the NPFL to the top championship in Africa. Strategic partners GTI Asset Management have outlined plans to enhance the league's profitability and competitiveness, which currently ranks below leagues in Egypt, Morocco, South Africa, and Tunisia. GTI's Executive Director, Mr. Nelson Ine, emphasized the stability achieved in the league over the past three years and the improvements made in competitive balance.
The league aims to increase revenue streams, improve infrastructure, and enhance the quality of the game by adopting international best practices. Key areas for improvement include broadcast quality, communication channels, engaging content, and upgrading playing facilities.
