Shooting Stars Sports Club faces pressure amid poor NPFL start

Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC) is facing significant pressure following a difficult start to the NPFL season. The Ibadan-based club recently played to a goalless draw against Kano Pillars at the Lekan Salami Stadium, extending a four-match winless streak.

Defender Adelowo Gbolagade addressed supporters regarding the team’s performance, acknowledging their frustration but vowing that the squad remains determined to improve and fight for better results. The club currently sits in the lower reaches of the league table.

In response to the team’s decline, supporters have called for the dismissal of head coach Salisu Yusuf. Fans have expressed a desire for the return of former coach Nurudeen Aweroro, who led the team to a third-place finish in the previous season. Comparisons between the current campaign and the last show a notable drop in points and league standing.
