Bendel Insurance Football Club has announced Sunday, June 22, 2025, as their resumption date for the 2025/26 season preparations in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL). The club’s Supporters’ Club, led by Chief Osadolor Ogiefa, has restated their commitment to the team, promising to remain faithful come rain or shine.

“We are happy to have the members of our technical crew with us this afternoon,” Chief Ogiefa said during a combined meeting with the technical crew members. “We want to again commend Coach Greg Ikhenoba-led technical crew for their resilience and commitment throughout last season. Nobody gave us the chance at all, but you people really made us proud by fighting back from relegation zone to top five.”

The supporters’ leader appealed to the team to focus on teamwork and spontaneous cooperation, emphasizing the need for disciplined and committed players to wear the Bendel Insurance jersey. “The Edo State Government is committed, management is ready; we are all ready. So, the responsibility is on the players to make us succeed,” he advised.

Coach Greg Ikhenoba expressed deep appreciation for the support shown by the fans, describing the Bendel Insurance supporters’ club as the best in the country. “Words are not enough to express my appreciation, particularly for having faith in me. The mantle of leadership fell on me at a very difficult time, and you all supported me and the team. Thank God we were able to turn things around to the extent that we were even among the contenders for CAF Continental ticket.”

According to a circular released by the club’s secretary, Charles Ihimekpen, players and officials are directed to resume on Sunday, June 22, 2025, with the first training session scheduled for Monday, June 23, beginning from 8:00 AM. The 2025/2026 NPFL season is set to kick off on August 22, 2025.
