Under the floodlights of their Abuja training base, Calgary Football Academy turned the page to a new chapter. With drums rolling and supporters chanting, the club unveiled its 35 man squad for their inaugural NLO 1 league campaign in 2026.
CEO Engr. Jeremiah Ogaga called it “a promise kept to every young boy who believed football could change his life.” The squad blends academy graduates with handpicked talents scouted from around the country — fast, hungry, and technically sharp.
