The Nigeria National League (NNL) has announced a two-week extension for the resumption of the second stanza of the 2024/2025 season.
Initially scheduled to resume earlier, the league will now restart on the weekend of April 4th, 5th, and 6th, 2025. This adjustment affects matches across all conferences of the NNL.
The league’s management has yet to provide an official reason for the extension, but it is expected that the decision was made to allow clubs more time for preparations ahead of the crucial second half of the season.
The NNL, widely regarded as Nigeria’s most competitive football division, serves as the pathway to the country’s top-tier league, the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL). With promotion and relegation battles intensifying, the extension could prove beneficial for teams seeking to strengthen their squads and refine their strategies.
Fans, clubs, and stakeholders will now shift their focus to the new resumption date as the race for promotion and survival continues in the country’s second-tier football league.
