The League Management Company (LMC) has ordered Kwara United to play their subsequent home matches this season behind closed doors.
The sanction was disclosed in a letter sent to the chairman of the club, Kumbi Titiloye as the LMC expressed their displeasure with how fans were able to gain access into the stadium during Kwara United’s 3-1 over Shooting Stars on the match-day 28 of the NPFL.
Recall that the LMC had earlier imposed a one-match ban on the Harmony boys to play their game against Shooting Stars of Ibadan without fans following the violence that happened in their home victory on match-day 26 against Rivers United.
The letter reads:
“Kwara United to play home matches behind closed doors until when the League Management Company is satisfied that crowd control measures are adequate.”
The Ilorin-based club still have 9 games to go this season in the NPFL, including five home games to play at the Kwara state stadium.
With the hope of a continental ticket for next season in sight, Kwara United currently sit 6th on the NPFL table with 43 points and are 5 points shy of the top 3.
