Among the team officials were Chief coach, Imama Amapakabo; assistant coach, Kennedy Boboye; second assistant coach, Fidelis Ilechukwu, goalkeeper’s trainer, Ettah Egbe, team co-ordinator, Dahiru Sadi, and Abdulsalam Kayode, the physiotherapist. Others include Suleiman Ohida, the team doctor; Sharif Abdallah, the media officer; Tayo Egbeleye, the team secretary and Chile, the curator.
