Fresh from their historic Evolution Cup triumph in Abuja, Green Lock FC’s move to Shagamu represents a strategic shift aimed at solidifying their rise as Nigeria’s next grassroots-to-glory success story. For Idris, this relocation is more than a change of scenery—it’s a launchpad for greatness.
“This is a visionary move by the management, and I’m fully on board,” Idris asserted, his trademark self-assurance unwavering. “Ogun State is rich in football talent, and we’re here to make our mark. My players have already shown they can rise to any challenge.”
With the club settling into its new home, the stakes are higher than ever, but Idris remains characteristically optimistic.
“We know how crucial it is to adapt quickly,” he stated. “The management has assured us that all necessary resources will be in place for a smooth transition. We’re also set to play a series of warm-up matches to refine our tactics and strengthen team chemistry.”
For Idris, pressure is a privilege. “I’ve told my players—we’re not just here to participate, we’re here to dominate. Ogun State, get ready. The Green Lock revolution is here,” he declared.
“We stood tall against the giants in Abuja, and now in Ogun State, we will continue playing the same fearless, attacking football with intelligent positional play. The NLO is about to witness a team that’s hungry, prepared, and relentless.”
He also commended the club’s management for their unwavering commitment to the team’s success, highlighting plans to provide top-tier facilities, state-of-the-art training equipment, and upgraded player accommodations.
“We’re not just building a team; we’re building a football institution,” Idris emphasized. “Our immediate goal is the NLO, but our long-term vision is to produce players for Nigeria and beyond.
The management is investing in high-standard facilities—pitches, gyms, recovery centers—because our players deserve nothing less.”
A key part of this vision is Green Lock’s soon-to-be-launched academy, set to open in the summer. Modeled after Gulf United FC in the UAE, the academy will integrate elite football training with academic development, ensuring a well-rounded pathway for young talents.
With their ambitious plans and fearless mindset, Green Lock FC is ready to turn their new chapter in Shagamu into a story of success.
