There seems to be a ray of hope for relegation threatened Heartland FC of Owerri as the club’s drive for foreign partners has started yielding positive results.

A statement from Heartland Media Department Monday, said Heartland Chairman, Hon. Goodfaith Etuemene, has reported good progress after meeting with some big club owners and managers among who was Mr. Sylwiusz Mucha-Orlinski, the President of MKS Znicz Pruszkow FC of Poland (seen here in a handshake).

“Etuemene is on a journey that is taking him from the city of Manchester in UK to Germany, Poland, Czech Republic and Turkey, where he has been meeting with some of Europe’s club owners and potential investors in the hope of nicking a relationship that can change the financial fortunes of the Naze Millionaires,” the statement read.

“On arrival in Warsaw, Poland on Friday and Saturday, Hon. Etuemene held fruitful discussions with MKS Znicz Pruszkow officials, which, when actualised could open an easier gate-way of European club transfers for future Heartland players. To us, this is a positive development,” it added.

MKS Znicz Pruszkow is the former club of current Bayern Munich striker, Robert Lewandoski, as well as former Nigerian international, Ifeanyi Ekwueme.

Heartland, one of Nigeria’s big clubs is battling for breath at the lower rung of the Nigeria professional Football League (NPFL) table this season; but the recent move by the new chairman will no doubt inspire hope and confidence in the team to fight to escape from relegation.
