Katsina Football Academy has recorded a landmark achievement as five of its brightest youngsters have officially signed professional contracts with Katsina United FC.

This marks the first time in the academy’s history that five players are moving to the senior team at once, a milestone that reflects the academy’s growing reputation as a breeding ground for homegrown football talent in Katsina State.

The promoted players are Yusuf Umar (17), Nasir Ahmad (17), Hassan Abubakar (19), Kabir Muhammad Muhammad (17), and Usman Abdullahi (18), all proud indigenes of Katsina.

Katsina United’s Sporting Director, Shamsuddeen Ibrahim, described the development as “a dream realized, not only for the players but for the entire football family in Katsina.”

This success is part of Katsina State’s broader investment in youth and sports development under the leadership of Governor Dikko Umaru Radda, whose administration has been creating pathways for young athletes to thrive and compete at the highest level.

Currently competing in the Nigerian Premier League, Katsina United is expected to benefit greatly from this infusion of youthful energy as the club continues to strengthen its squad for the future.

The promotion of these five youngsters not only elevates Katsina’s profile in Nigerian football but also reaffirms the state’s long-term commitment to grooming local talent into professional stars.
