NPFL: Kun Khalifat Opens Gates Free for Wikki Tourists Clash, Rallies Fans Against Relegation

Kun Khalifat FC has announced free admission for fans attending their final 2025/2026 NPFL home game against Wikki Tourists at the Dan Anyiam Stadium in Owerri on Sunday, 24 May 2026, as the club seeks to secure its top-flight status. The decision, made by club President and CEO Michael Amaefula, is a gesture of gratitude to supporters who have remained loyal despite a challenging season. Amaefula personally signed the statement released to Completesports.com, emphasizing the fans’ role as the team’s “12th player” in the crucial matchday 38 fixture.

The Imo State-based club has struggled throughout the NPFL campaign, often battling relegation. However, their recent 2-0 victory over Abia Warriors in Aba during Matchday 37 has lifted them to 13th position on the league table with 46 points. This result has given them a realistic chance of avoiding relegation if they defeat Wikki Tourists in their final match. Coach Obinna Uzoho and his squad are now focused on securing a win that could be decisive for their survival in the elite league.

In his message, Amaefula praised the unwavering support of Kun Khalifat’s fans, calling them “incredible” and acknowledging their energy and belief as key motivators for the team. He highlighted that from the opening match of the season to the final day, supporters have stood by the club through tough times. The free entry policy is intended to encourage a massive turnout, creating an electric atmosphere that could inspire the players to deliver a strong performance.

The Dan Anyiam Stadium, Owerri, will be the stage for this high-stakes encounter. Amaefula urged all Imolites and supporters to come out in large numbers, fill the stands, and make noise to support the team. He stressed that the collective effort of fans and players alike will be crucial in achieving a positive outcome. The club’s leadership sees this final match not just as a game, but as a moment of unity and shared purpose.

With the relegation battle going down to the final day, every point and every fan matters. Kun Khalifat’s decision to open the gates to supporters reflects their commitment to community and gratitude. The match against Wikki Tourists will be more than just a game—it will be a celebration of resilience, loyalty, and the hope for continued football excellence in Owerri. The outcome could shape the club’s future in the NPFL, and fans are being called upon to play their part in securing a victory.
