Stormers FC have become the first team to earn promotion to the Nigerian National League (NNL) following a decisive 2-1 victory over Real Sapphire in their final playoff match.

 

The Ogun State-based club wrapped up their playoff campaign with two wins from three matches, finishing with 6 points and a +1 goal difference — enough to top their group and seal a coveted spot in Nigeria’s second-tier football division.

 

The victory marks a significant achievement for Stormers FC, who showed resilience and consistency throughout the playoff round to emerge as the first club to confirm NNL qualification.

 

With this promotion, Stormers FC will now compete in the NNL in the upcoming season, setting their sights on continuing their upward momentum in the Nigerian football league system.

 

The club’s management, players, and fans will be celebrating what is a historic step forward for the team, as they prepare to face new challenges and opportunities at a higher level.
