AKWA United Players have resumed training for the new sea- son even as Coach Abdu Maikaba has called for discipline and dedication as “we prepare for the season ahead”. The pioneer Aiteo Cup Champions who will be representing the Country in next year’s CAF Confederation Cup alongside Enyimba International Football Club of Aba have the task of defending the Cup in the new season.
The Technical Adviser who su- pervised the training at the Uyo Township Stadium told Akwa United Media “. . . we have a tough season ahead of us. We have to defend the Aiteo Cup, do better in the league and help the country to raise the profile of our sagging continental showing” He said.
On trials for the new season, he said “there will be no trials. I
have submitted a list of Players we need to the Management and I believe they are in contact with those players and the sooner we can get them, the better. We have no time on our hands. Players must be serious and disciplined. Hard work awaits all of us.”
Chairman of the Club Paul Bassey was all praise for players who have turned up and those that failed to report “will be disciplined appropriately as will be recommended by the technical crew” he submitted.
