Inter Lagos have stepped up their preparations for the upcoming Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season, with head coach Shakiru Giwa emphasizing the importance of physical conditioning. The newly promoted side is determined to make a strong impression in their first top-flight campaign.
Giwa, speaking to Sportslighthub, stressed that superior fitness will be a key factor in navigating the demanding NPFL schedule, which involves long-distance travel and intense matches. He outlined plans to focus on endurance, speed, and recovery during training sessions.
“Physical readiness is crucial for us this term,” Giwa said. “We aim to build a squad capable of performing at its best for the full 90 minutes, whether at home or away.”
The technical team will closely monitor players’ progress to minimize the risk of injuries, Giwa added. Inter Lagos earned promotion to the NPFL for the first time in their history last season, and the club is eager to establish itself among Nigeria’s elite.
