Board of Nigeria National League has on Monday announced that 2018/2019 Most Important League will no longer start on Wednesday 3rd April,2019 as earlier announced.
Sports247.ng exclusively reports that the decision was sequel to the recommendations by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Football Committee ,which met in Lagos on Sunday, March 31, 2019. The league however will now commence on Wednesday 10th of April, 2019.
NFF Committee therefore commended the NNL for concluding the League and setting a good pace in kick starting the 2019 League season. The Committee also took a critical look at NNL submission on officiating, Referees indemnity, General Administration of the League relative to the NFF, Confederation of African Football (CAF) and Federation of International Football Federation (FIFA) Calendar and directed that the Referees Committee work out a modality of ensuring good officiating in the League.
sports247.ng reliably scooped that the committee also directed that the NFF should bail out the League financially to prosecute the League pending when the League gets sponsorship.
It would be recalled that sports247.ng reported last week that April 3rd earlier announced by the board of Nigeria National League might not be visible and might be compelled to shift the kick off date
The Nigeria National League (NNL) is the second tier league after the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) and was expected to kick off the league next Wednesday
