Edel FC is determined to conclude their 2024-25 Nigeria National League (NNL) campaign on a positive note as they prepare to face Smart City in their final home fixture of the season.

The Anambra-based club will host Smart City at the Awka Township Stadium on Saturday in what promises to be an emotional encounter for the home supporters.

Current Standing and Relegation Battle

Currently occupying eighth position on the NNL Group A table with 15 points, Edel FC finds themselves in a precarious position as the season draws to a close. The club is among three teams—alongside Ijele FC and Igbajo United—battling to avoid relegation from the group.

"The last dance at home in front of our fans," Edel FC announced on their official Facebook page. "Our penultimate game of the season comes up against Smart City FC. We will look to round off perfectly at home with all three points."

Significance of the Match

A victory in this fixture would not only boost the team's morale but could also prove crucial in their fight against relegation. With only two matches remaining in their season, including this final home game, every point has become vital for Edel FC's survival hopes.

BenriNews reports that the match represents more than just three points for Edel FC—it's an opportunity to reward their faithful supporters with a memorable performance before the season concludes.

The encounter against Smart City kicks off what will be a decisive final stretch for several clubs in the NNL as promotion and relegation battles intensify across all groups in the league.
