FC ONE ROCKET alongside Asaba based Apex Krane and Ottasolo have been relegated to the National League One after the last game played on Saturday at the various centers.

While a source from the National League One claims that only 8 teams will be accepted to NLO from NNL, the NNL and LMC are persistent on having three teams in the relegation zone. According to the latest league table updated by NNL, it can be seen that 3 teams are in the relegation zone.

FC ONE ROCKET had its first successful run when coach Ndubuisi Ndah was still head coach of the Akwa Ibom based outfit. The unsuccessful season can be blamed on the sacked coach Emmanuel King who was fired after loosing 3 matches consecutively.

If the rumors of only two teams being accepted into the NLO are true, then it is possible that FC ONE ROCKET may not be relegating afterall.
