“This win is a significant morale booster for our team, and we are proud of every player’s effort,” Yusuf, a former Super Eagles assistant coach told the club’s media.
“With three matches remaining before the League comes to an end, we are focused on taking it one game at a time and pushing for every point possible.
“Our warmest gratitude to the sports stakeholders in Gombe State, including the Government State Government, Gombe State Football Association, the combined forces of Gombe United FC and Doma United FC and their wonderful Supporters’ Clubs, the local media, and many more too numerous to mention.
“We are overwhelmed by the massive support and solidarity shown to us. This feels like home away from home for us.
“As long as we are here, we will continue to reward their support for us and the good people of Nasarawa State.”
