Enakhena told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday in Lagos that entering the Glo Premier League as underdogs would be of advantage to his team.
NAN reports that the MFM FC is owned by the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries under Pastor D.K. Olukoya, its General Overseer.
Olukoya, known to be an ardent lover of sports, has established many sporting clubs, including the MFM FC that recently gained promotion to premier league for 2016/2017 season.
MFM journey into the premier league started in 2013 after the club bought the slot from Bolowotan FC in the lower league.
However, on Aug. 31, 2015, it secured a ticket to the NPFL after emerging champions of the lower league.

On what to expect from the faith-based club in their campaign at Nigeria’s elite division, Enakhena said that they had the requisite conditions for a favourable outing.
“When teams are tagged underdogs, it means they are at advantage, which means they are not under any pressure to win because people will say after all they are underdogs.
“It is just an advantage, for example, Leicester City FC in the Barclays Premier League in England is enjoying that because they are supposedly underdogs, but look at what they are doing now
“The tag underdogs, why not? We will accept it. We will approach matches where we are not going to be underdogs in our mindset.
“We are not scared of any team, it is a match of 11 players versus 11 players,’’ he said.
