The Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) has mandated that all matchday 37 games begin at 3 p.m.
The directive, according to Davidson Owumi, Chief Operating Officer of the NPFL, is in line with the aim of guaranteeing sporting fairness to all participating clubs.
“We earlier directed that for the trophy presentation ceremony in Ikenne, the fixture should Kickoff at 3pm for safety reasons.
“After extensive assessment of all the fixtures which impacts the outcome for continental slots and relegation survival, we resolved to set a uniform Kickoff time for all”, Owumi clarified.
Matchday 37’s schedule is set on Sunday, May 11 at all locations, with the reigning champions, the Remo Stars, hosting the top three-chasing Ikorodu City.
Abia Warriors, another of the top three chasing teams, will play El-Kanemi Warriors in Umuahia.
