Kun Khalifat Need Win to Avoid Relegation as Goalkeeper Calls Fans the '12th Man'

Kun Khalifat must win its final NPFL match to stay in the top flight, and both the goalkeeper and chairman have called on fans to provide decisive support.

Context Kun Khalifat sit level on points with the team directly below them but trail on goal difference, leaving victory as the only certain way to avoid relegation. The club has earned 38 points this season, one point clear of the drop zone, but a draw or loss could see them fall. Wikki Tourists, their opponents, sit mid‑table with 48 points and have won three of their last five away games.

Key Facts Goalkeeper Chijioke Ejiogu described the supporters as the 12th man, saying they have a huge impact on the team and make it uncomfortable for opponents. Club chairman Michelle Amaefula urged fans to attend in large numbers, stressing that unity and backing are essential for survival. Both figures emphasized that only a win will guarantee Kun Khalifat’s place in the Nigeria Premier Football League for next season.

What It Means The appeal hinges on converting home advantage into points; a win would secure safety regardless of other results, while any other outcome leaves the fate dependent on rivals. If the crowd delivers the promised noise, it could disrupt Wikki Tourists’ rhythm and boost Kun Khalifat’s confidence. The next watchpoint is attendance and early‑game pressure at Dan Anyiam Stadium on Sunday.
