Newly promoted Sporting Lagos will step out on home soil for the first time since their promotion to the NPFL against champions Enyimba International in the Naija Super 8.

The Tech boys will play in front of their home fans for the first time since they became the 70th club to play in the NPFL after promotion from the NNL in Asaba last week.
