The Chief Coach of the Champions of the 2025 Plateau State Super League, Ehis Ediale, has given reasons on what made it possible for his team to emerge champions despite losing 7 of his regular players to Plateau United senior team and other clubsides.
Coach Ehis Ediale, after leading Plateau United Under-19 Team to another victory after winning the N-Youth League Northern Conference, beating the likes of Kano Pillars Under-19, Kwara United Under-19, Mighty Jets Under-19, ABS fc and others to it, opens up on what made winning the Plateau State Super a success.
Coach Ehis, as he’s fondly called said: “This year’s Super League honestly, is a league with a difference. The organization and everything is spot on. And it’s a league that just started and ended immediately without any hitch! No delay whatsoever. The organization, the officiating, everything is good. The other 15 teams gave a very good account of themselves. It was a very competitive league. Kudos to the PFA Chairman, Hon. Suleiman Kwande and his Board.”
He continues: “I will want to first and foremost give thanks to God Almighty and my Ogas that gave me the opportunity to lead this team and do what I know how to do best. I thank my fellow technical crew members too for their support and understanding. Kudos to everybody that contributed in one way or the other to this success story. “
He concludes: “I won’t be home and dry if I don’t commend the actors themselves, I mean, my players. They did exceptionally well. Playing 6 matches and scoring 22 goals, conceding only 2 without defeat despite missing about 7 of our regular players of which some of them are with the senior team and some of them jetting out soonest, while others are injured. We still need to go back to the drawing board, cross the ts and dot the “i”s as we prepare for the Playoff to the NLO Division Two Youth League proper.”
It would be recalled that Plateau United Under-19 Team defeated Y-Star Football Academy 3-1 at the final to win the 2025 Plateau State Super League.
Both Plateau United Under-19 Team and Y-Star FA will represent the State in the playoff to the NLO Division Two Youth League.
