7 NPFL Stars Eric Chelle Can’t Overlook Ahead of the Unity Cup
The Unity Cup returns to The Valley in South London from May 26 to 30 as Nigeria faces Zimbabwe, Jamaica and India. Coach Eric Chelle will be watching the NPFL run-in closely. Ayobami “Baggio” Junior leads the league with 11 assists and has dazzled with his vision and passing. His three-assist haul in one match was the first NPFL treble since 2025. Joseph Arumala has scored 12 goals in his debut season, while Ikorodu City’s captain Tosin Oyedokun has driven their title push. Goalkeeper Michael Atata has kept 16 clean sheets and proven he can marshal a defence. Rivers United’s Stephen Manyo anchors the meanest backline in the league. Enugu Rangers duo Oputa Chibueze and Chidozie Iwundu combine marauding full-back runs with set-piece threat and an impressive eight goals from defence.
