Jordan Football Academy has maintained its top position in the Afriskaut Elite Super League after a hard-fought 2-1 win over FC Bako in Match Day Nine of the league’s second round.
The win, which was secured at the Confluence Stadium Lokoja on Thursday, has seen Jordan FA accumulate 20 points, putting them ahead of Reigner FC and FC Bako, who have 19 and 16 points respectively.
The match saw FC Bako take an early lead through Yahaya Hassan’s goal in the 23rd minute.
However, Jordan FA quickly responded with Aliyu Akorede scoring two crucial goals in the 28th and 87th minutes to seal the win for his team.
Ayokunle Olajugba’s outstanding performance earned him the Man of the Match award.
Jordan FA’s Founder and CEO, Jordan Haziel, praised the team’s determination and doggedness in retaining the top spot.
“With only one game left to play on Sunday against Flamingo FC, Haziel emphasised the team’s focus on winning the trophy with maximum points.
He also stressed the need for support from government bodies, financial institutions, private firms, media, and individuals to help the team evolve into a football powerhouse.
Haziel believes that with the right sponsorship, Jordan FA can produce talented players who can excel in both local and international clubs.
The Afriskaut Elite Super League, backed by Afriskaut/Ozi-Bako Foundation, provides young players with exposure to scouts and clubs, offering a platform for them to showcase their skills and potentially launch their careers.
