The Interim Management Committee (IMC) that administers the Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL) has extended the date for the resumption of the new football season by two weeks. The IMC had originally set August 26 as the NPFL start date for the 2023/24 season, but this has now been extended by two weeks to September 8/10.
According to the statement issued by the IMC, the reason for the extension is to adequately prepare for a full season, since it will not be played in an abbreviated format.
Let’s remember that the committee proposed that the new season be carried out in the same way as the season just concluded before the owners of the clubs rejected the idea.
The IMC also revealed that the newly launched NPFL The live app that went live last week has not been fully used or tested in selected stadiums.
He added that there is a clash of match schedules for the four Nigerian teams participating in the CAF Champions League and Confederation Cup when they begin their preliminary stage later this weekend.
The IMC will hold the draw ceremony for the new season in Lagos this Thursday.
