NFF APPROVES NEW NPFL NAME

 




The Nigeria football federation has ratified the change of name of the Nigeria  Premier football league before the  start of the 2023/24 season.

This was done at the 79th general assembly of the country 's football governing body on Sunday in Uyo, capital city of Akwa-Ibom.

"The Congress approved the change of name of the Nigerian.Proffessiinal football league," NFF said in a communique.

The new board of NPFL had paraded the league as the big Premier Football league, launching a new logo and new name for the league but the NFF had also insisted that only the congress had the  power to change the name.

The 2023/24 NPFL season was scheduled to kick-off on Saturday, September 9 with a curtain raiser between 3sc and Plateau united in Ibadan. But the league suffered another postponement due to what the board called exigencies around its sponsorship.

A new date for the kick off is expected to be announced in due course.

Enyimba won the league last season during the super 6 playoffs in Lagos to be crowned champions for a record nine times.

The NPFL was founded in 1971, 51 years ago.
