Kwara football followers will once again, have the opportunity of watching their darling team, Kwara United Football Club for free, as they file out against Heartland Football Club of Owerri, in the Matchday Eight of the on-going Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL), at the Main-Bowl of the State Stadium Complex, Ilorin.
The team's management decided to throw the gates open to honour the newly sworn-in Commissioner for Sports and Youth Development, Miss Joana Nnazua Kolo, who was today sworn-in as the new Commissioner in charge of the development of sports and youths in the state.
Kwara United Football Club was on Monday, granted provisional approval to officially take over Delta Force, with the venue for home matches changed to Ilorin.
The match on Sunday will be the team's first, officially in the NPFL, and holding at home against Heartland Football Club of Owerri.

They also charged the stakeholders to rally round to ensure the team sustains its status in the top division at the end of the season, irrespective of its current standing on the log.
