Crown FC technical adviser, Ayodeji Ayeni, has charged his players to brace up for the challenges ahead of the 2025-26 Nigeria National League, NNL season.
Ayeni warned that no player has an automatic place in his team for the new season.
The Ajilete Warriors resumed preparation for the upcoming season on Monday.
“Any retained player who feels too big or assumes automatic selection is only deceiving himself. Everyone must prove their worth to be part of the team’s plans,” Ayeni declared in his address to the players.
Crown FC missed out on a promotion ticket to the Nigeria Premier Football League, NPFL, last season.
The Ogbomosho-based club finished at the bottom of their group in the NNL playoffs.
