Umar Sadiq becomes owner of a club

Even as his destination for next season remains uncertain, Umar Sadiq has made a bold move by purchasing a football club.

Supporters already see this acquisition as the start of a golden new chapter for the club. Rancher Bees FC hopes to regain its shine thanks to Sadiq’s experience and vision.
