NPFL Match Schedule: NANPF calls for players’ protection

By Daily Sports on August 31, 2018

Nigeria Players Union, NANPF has drawn the attention of the League Management Company (LMC) on the impact the new schedule of the league season will have on the ‘Health and Performance of players, including their Personal Development, Rest and Recovery’ if proper and adequate arrangement is not put in place to address the travelling challenges due to poor nature of our roads.

A statement signed by NANPF AGS Communication, Comrade Danladi Musa said that “Following the new resumption date of 2nd September 2018 for the Nigeria Professional Football League and taken into consideration the Eight Weeks duration of 28th October deadline for the conclusion of the 2017/2018 league season,” the players overall well being might be endangered if practical steps were not taken to address the highlighted areas.   

“While we commit ourselves with the LMC and the Clubs towards achieving a commercially successful schedule that respects the FIFA calendar, we must also build the needs of Players into scheduling decisions, including by addressing the requirements for high performance, Professional and Personal Development, Rest and Recovery.

“We therefore appeal to the LMC to make extra provisions in supporting the Clubs to improve the mode and quality of transporting their players and officials to and fro match venues for the remaining league games that will safeguard their Health, improve Performance, increase Rest and Recovery period to   avoid clear dangers of picking injuries due to fatigue that can possibly terminate the career of such players.

“We hope this will be a major point of discussion in the meeting of the LMC and Clubs Owners Association tomorrow in Abuja,” the statement noted.
