“The process of transfers and player acquisitions at the commencement and conclusion of seasons can be rather intricate. “Players depart for a multitude of reasons; some due to more enticing opportunities overseas, others because they were deemed surplus to requirements, while a few left through mutual agreement,”Titiloye elucidated.

Furthermore, the chairman implored the club’s supporters to exhibit patience throughout the recruitment process, acknowledging the anxieties often associated with the transfer window.
“We all share a deep affection for this club and aspire to see it flourish. “Hence, I humbly beseech the fans of Kwara United to display understanding and forbearance towards us,”Titiloye concluded.
The 2024/2025 NPFL season is expected to begin on August 31 when Kwara United will host Niger Tornadoes in Ilorin.
