Relegated Sporting Lagos has focused on an immediate return to the Nigeria Premier Football League.
Sporting had a blistering start to the season but failed to keep up with the pace and fell off.
Their relegation to the Nigeria National League was confirmed on the final day of the league after a defeat to Shooting Stars in Ibadan.
The team on Monday morning thanked its fans and supporters while also promising an immediate return to the elite division.
” After a whirlwind debut season in the NPFL, yesterday’s result confirms our relegation.
It’s been an emotional several weeks — an emotional year. From a seven-game winless streak and a blowout SW derby, to Lagos Island roadshows and away game road trips, this has been a season to remember.
But this is a 100-year project — today’s setbacks are tomorrow’s stepping stones. We will surely be back in top flight as soon as possible.
To our fans who travel from near and far and have stuck with us through every win and loss — we say a big thank you.
You have made every blow less painful and every triumph infinitely more meaningful”, the club.
