<br>Enyimba FC opened their campaign at the Ifeanyi Ekwueme TICO/Select Pre‑Season Tournament with an emphatic 5–2 victory against Inter FC Aba, an NLO side. The decisive win reflects the club’s ongoing "Peoples’ Elephant" identity and plans to rebuild under coach Stanley Eguma.

<br>Editorial
<br>
<br>Enyimba’s 5–2 win was exactly the kind of statement they needed to begin the TICO/Select tourney. After a season of inconsistency, the Elyima faithful will take heart in seeing their team’s wide play, forward rhythm, and [clinical finishing](https://agf-wiki.dk/index.php/Bruger:HollieNester2) all click in one outing.

<br>This match was more than just goals it was about [setting identity](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/news/interviews/iwobi-calls-for-fulham-to-improve-recent-form/). Against a lower‑tier opponent, former [champions](https://azbongda.com/index.php/Th%C3%A0nh_vi%C3%AAn:MarilynNorthmore) still honoured standards. Their blend of experienced campaigners and fresh legs stood out and bodes well under Eguma’s leadership.
<br>
<br>Looking ahead to the clash with [Heartland](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/category/international-nigerian-footballers/) FC, the stakes rise but so does expectation. Faces change in Nigerian football, but rivalry remains fierce. A win will not only affirm form it will rekindle confidence ahead of the NPFL season proper.
<br>
<br>We believe this performance exemplifies Enyimba’s readiness to reclaim relevance. Attack as philosophy, not just necessity, was evident. If they maintain this sharpness, fans may well see a return to the dominant Aba side they once knew.

The TICO/Select Pre‑Season Tournament is hosted by ex‑international and former Enyimba sporting director Ifeanyi Ekwueme, designed to prep NPFL clubs and invite scouts.
Abraham Michael, who scored twice in the opener, is a rising star within Enyimba's youth ranks, tipped for senior breakthrough.
Enyimba’s coach Stanley Eguma was appointed in January 2025, replacing Yemi Daniel as part of the club’s strategic reshuffle.
Heartland FC, Enyimba’s [upcoming](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/news/transfer-news/bayern-munich-activate-release-clause-for-granada-striker-edna-imade/) opponent, finished the 2024–25 NPFL season in 19th place and were relegated, making this preseason tie crucial for rebuilding morale.
Inter FC Aba, though an NLO side, has been known to upset NPFL teams in making Enyimba’s high-scoring win especially important in reasserting dominance.
