Activities to flag off the 2025/26 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season will commence with an Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Abuja.
In a letter of invitation to the clubs, NPFL’s Chief Operating Officer, Prince Davidson Owumi stated that the AGM will hold on Monday at the Abuja Continental Hotel, (the Old Abuja Sheraton Hotels), while the arrival of all participants is Sunday.
Part of the agenda of the AGM will be the draw ceremony for the fixtures of the new season slated to start on 22 August.
‘In addition to the various reports that will be presented at the AGM, we are also going to conduct the framework for the fixtures of the new season’, Owumi told NPFL Media.
NPFL Chairman, Hon. Gbenga Elegbeleye will lead the meeting with the board members and the 20 clubs that played in the last season. The four promoted clubs will be formally admitted to the NPFL just as the four relegated clubs will be attending their last meeting as part of the elite league.
President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Alhaji Ibrahim Gusau is expected to declare the meeting open with a number of ex-international players in attendance to add colour to the draw event.
