The Emir encouraged the players to remain focused and emulate the late Rashidi Yekini, a Kwara-born football icon whose steadfast dedication to the sport continues to inspire.
He also dedicated the victory to Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, acknowledging the state government's vital support and provision of resources that facilitated the team's participation and success.
The delegation to the Emir's palace was led by the Executive Chairman of the Kwara State Sports Commission, Mallam Bola Mogaji, alongside Club Chairman, Kumbi Titiloye, General Manager, Mallam Bashir Badawiy, Club Secretary, Wale Obalola and other top management staff.
Kwara United's triumph at the President Federation Cup marks a milestone achievement, ending a 49-year title drought, and has positioned the club as a beacon of hope and pride for football development in the state.
