The Lagos-based club celebrated the unveiling with a thrilling 2-1 comeback victory over Kwara United in their NPFL Matchday 23 clash at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena on Sunday.
Despite conceding early in the 2nd minute when Junior Aimufua put Kwara United ahead, Ikorodu City FC quickly responded. Toyeeb Ajeyigbe equalized in the 7th minute after a precise low cross from captain Waliu Ojetoye.
The winning goal came in the 64th minute, with Shola Adelani netting a brilliant near-post header, sealing all three points for the home team.
