Seven years after coming into existence, FC Middlewell are done with simply making up the numbers; now they want to achieve more success and win trophies.
The Lagos Island outfit is approaching the 2025/2026 season with renewed intent and a clear mission—to mount a serious challenge for the Lagos State FA Cup.
FC Middlewell: A Club Ready for the Next Level
In an official statement shared via its social platforms, the club confirmed its participation in the upcoming campaign.
Established in 2018 and widely recognised as the “Lagosian Giants”, FC Middlewell believes the upcoming tournament represents more than just another appearance—it signals a deliberate push toward elite status within Lagos football.
Over the past seven years, the club has steadily strengthened its internal structure while building a competitive identity that continues to mature.
The 2025/2026 campaign is being framed as a defining chapter in that evolution.
The tone from within the club leaves little room for doubt. Middlewell are not approaching this tournament as hopeful underdogs — they are positioning themselves as genuine contenders.
Backed by Leadership and Clear Direction
Momentum from their previous FA Cup outing has only intensified expectations. That run provided valuable lessons and belief; this season is about refinement and execution.
Under the guidance of club president Raheem Akingbade (Amalowo), the focus remains on delivering high-level performances rooted in organisation, resilience, teamwork and competitive edge.
There is also a strong call to supporters to rally behind the team throughout the campaign.
The club recognises the role of fan energy—both inside the stadium and across digital platforms—in fuelling performances on the pitch.
In return, Middlewell are promising effort, ambition and a genuine pursuit of silverware.
Stability and Structure as Quiet Strengths
Preparation is already underway as the team awaits official fixtures, venues and scheduling from the Lagos State Football Association.
Behind the scenes, the club credits its players, technical crew, partners and stakeholders for maintaining stability — a factor that has become one of its understated advantages.
The objective is straightforward: compete fiercely, withstand the pressure, and progress deep into the tournament.
Seven years after its formation, FC Middlewell’s FA Cup ambition is no longer aspirational rhetoric. It is organised, strategic, and boldly declared.
