Doma United FC secured promotion to the Nigeria Premier Football League with a 2-0 win over Mighty Jets FC at the Pantami Stadium on Wednesday. The victory sealed their return to the top flight just two years after relegation, confirming Doma United as winners of Conference C in the Nigeria National League. The team delivered a composed performance in front of their home fans, guaranteeing promotion with the win.

The Savannah Scorpions' success has been built on consistency throughout the season, with a strong home record playing a key role in their campaign. The team's determination and commitment to their goal paid off, securing a well-deserved promotion to the NPFL. The victory also confirmed relegation for the Jos-based Mighty Jets FC.

Doma United's head coach, Najib Mabo, expressed his joy at guiding the team back to the elite division. The young coach had earlier described the fixture as emotional due to his strong ties with Mighty Jets, a club closely linked to his late father, Ismaila Mabo. Despite the emotional challenge, Mabo remained focused on the task, leading his side to a victory that not only secured promotion but also confirmed relegation for Mighty Jets.

The result triggered celebrations in Gombe, as fans and players marked a quick return to the NPFL, where the club will compete again next season.
