Katsina Utd embark on pre-season camping next week

Katsina United are considering choosing from four states they have pencilled down for the final part of their pre-season build up which they hope to go to next week before the start of the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) season.

The club returned to the elite division at the end of last season after topping their Nigeria National League (NNL) group and the head coach of the side, Bala Nikyu told SportingLife that the club have stepped up preparation to ensure that they make a meaningful impact in the next season’s campaign.

He revealed that he retained the 22 players he met on ground from last season and will add new players based on the directives from the management on the number of players they intend using for next season.

The former Flamingoes coach hinted that by the weekend they will finalise on where they intend using for the final phase of their pre-season and he also disclosed that Katsina United pulled out of the Shehu Dikko pre-season tournament in Kaduna but didn’t give any reason.
