This team Sporting Lagos is one team to watch out for. Their exploit in the Nigeria National League and super 8 competition is no fluck. I believe they will spice up the league with their brand of football.
Sporting Lahos is on of the excitements of the new league season. With four UEFA licenced coaches in their ranks, we expect quality football all round.
