Participating clubs in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) have been reminded that only those that submitted for the club licencing process within the stipulated time frame would be registered to play in the 2022/23 season.
Chief Executive Officer of the League Management Company (LMC), Davidson Owumi also told the clubs that arrangements had been concluded for stadium and facilities inspection, which also is part of the club licensing requirements.
“Schedules for the Club Licensing process has been sent to the clubs since July 2022 and, already, a number of clubs have been undergoing the procedure at our office in Abuja. Those who are yet to respond are hereby reminded that it is a compulsory requirement for registration to participate in the incoming season”, Owumi, who is also LMC’s Managing Director said.
He assured NPFL followers that the new season would usher in improvements to all facets of the league, especially in the area of quality of approved venues.
He said that, in the coming days, the LMC would unfold the trajectory for a successful season that would add to the gains of the last season.
Rivers United emerged the champions of the 2021/22 season and were presented the trophy at a very colourful ceremony in Port Harcourt which enjoyed the full participation of NPFL Fintech partner, Bitnob.
The 2021/21 season ended on 17 July. Three months after, no date has been fixed for the start of a new term.
