The atmosphere was brimming with excitement and smiles all around as the boys of Plato Academy of Philosophy, the reigning AFAS champions and second-best football team in the University of Ibadan, reunited for the first time this semester in a training session. Their goal? To prepare for not one, not two, not even three, but potentially four upcoming competitions, all with one goal in mind - to sweep them all and clinch victory in every single one of these competitions.

However, this time, the absence of some Notable individuals from the last session was Noticeable; Samuel, the dependable team captain, was noticeably absent. Ben, who's been our rock and last line of defence in goalpost since his freshman days, was also missing in action. We also couldn't help but miss players like BATMAN, PRAISE, and AYANFE, who've made significant contributions to the team in the past.

But amidst the nostalgia and the void left by the absence of the seasoned players, there was a buzz of excitement in the team thanks to the fresh talent that has joined our ranks. The team welcomed a mix of enthusiastic freshmen and some returning old players like Tóbi, Emmanuel and Papi, the trusted sharpshooter. They were all eager to prove themselves and carry forward the proud legacy of Plato Academy of Philosophy. 

Speaking of the team's goals and preparations, the team also has a new coach in the person of Adebowale Akinjide AKA Maestro. He is renowned for his football knowledge. In his words when interacting with NAPS press correspondence - "They (the team's goals) are really tough to achieve... but it is very possible with the right approach, consistency and discipline" Will he be able to guide and lead the team all the way to their goals? Only time will tell. 

With their eyes set firmly on the upcoming challenges, the Plato Boys of Philosophy look determined to rise to the occasion, build on their legacy and aim for nothing less than victory in all forthcoming competitions.

The team's excitement is contagious, and as we gear up for the upcoming competitions, fans, haters alike, and players are holding their breath, hoping to witness yet another chapter of greatness in our beloved academy's sports history. BE THERE!
