Ashifat also pointed out that the young squad’s performance reflects a foundation that can grow stronger with time. “If they can hold their ground against an experienced and compact team, full of experienced players, it shows that indeed, this team has a very, very bright future,” he stated. The coach believes that consistency and cohesion will come with continued training and match experience.
Looking ahead, Kwara United are set to face Plateau United in Week 2 of the Euromatch–NPFL 2026/2027 season. Ashifat is hopeful for improved performance and greater teamwork during the upcoming fixture. “Gradually, the team is evolving. We’ve got too many new players and we’re undergoing the blending process,” he explained. He remains confident that the team will build on Sunday’s effort and deliver a stronger showing in Jos.
With a mix of youth and ambition, Kwara United’s journey under Ashifat’s leadership is expected to gain momentum as the season progresses. The draw against Kano Pillars may have been disappointing on paper, but it laid the groundwork for what could become a compelling campaign.
