By outdoor-nature-child.com Despite a challenging start to the 2024/2025 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season, Ikorodu City FC is resolute in its pursuit of excellence, bolstered by the unwavering support of their primary sponsor, BetKing.
The Lagos-based club, which recently secured promotion to the NPFL, has faced tough competition from seasoned teams like Kano Pillars, Enugu Rangers, and Nasarawa United, resulting in some difficult losses. Nevertheless, BetKing’s dedication to both the team and the growth of Nigerian football remains steadfast.
Since their partnership began in 2023, BetKing has played a vital role in Ikorodu City FC’s development. Their support goes beyond financial assistance, providing essential resources that enhance the team’s performance both on and off the pitch. This enduring sponsorship embodies BetKing’s vision to uplift local talent and strengthen the broader Nigerian sports landscape.
The remarkable ascent of Ikorodu City FC to the NPFL this year is a testament to the team’s hard work and commitment, as well as the ongoing support from BetKing. Despite early setbacks, BetKing continues to believe in the potential of the “Oga Boys,” remaining committed to their long-term success.
In discussing the current sponsorship, BetKing’s CEO and Managing Director, Gossy Ukanwoke, expressed optimism for Ikorodu City FC and reaffirmed the company’s commitment to supporting grassroots football. “At BetKing, we recognize that every successful team experiences ups and downs, and Ikorodu City FC is no different.

Our partnership is rooted in a shared vision of growth and success, and we are dedicated to helping Ikorodu City FC reach new heights in Nigerian football.”
Reflecting on the team’s advancements, Ikorodu City FC’s CEO and Chairman, Sanmi Doherty, noted, “This season, we have assembled the youngest squad and coaching staff in the NPFL. These players and coaches wouldn’t have had the chance to compete in Nigeria’s top league without Ikorodu City. We wouldn’t have realized this dream without BetKing’s backing. We are optimistic that our young squad will make history this season. We will fight for points in every match, playing with passion and giving our all.”
