The start of the 2023–24 Nigeria Premier Football League season has once again been delayed.
The postponement was confirmed by the NPFL Board on Wednesday.
The NPFL’s Chief Operating Officer, Davidson Owumi, took the decision after consulting with stakeholders.
“We have everything set for the kickoff in Ibadan on Saturday but following representations from multiple stakeholders and more cogent is the complex logistics involved in having our Chairman and Clubs leadership travel from Ibadan to Uyo,” Owumi said.
“Note therefore that there will be no flag-off game this Saturday, September 9 as originally planned,” the statement added
According to him, the decision has been informed to teams that may have begun preparations for the start of the NPFL season, which was previously scheduled for September 9.
The campaign was supposed to begin on August 26th, before the September date.
