By Daily Sports Nigeria on July 27, 2023

The chairman of the Nigeria Premier League NPL, Honourable Gbenga Elegbeleye has confirmed that the 2023/2024 season will kick off on August 26.

Honourable Elegbeleye also revealed an improved prize with the winner of the 2023/2024 season set to pocket N150 million.

Honourable Elegbeleye stated that the kickoff date is sacred and that all preparations have been finalized after the NFF President, Alhaji Ibrahim Gusau, inaugurated the newly constituted board of the Nigeria Professional Football League on Wednesday in Abuja.

The kick off-date is definite, we have taken that will ensure the smooth sailing of the new season with the intention to align with the European season. We hope the season ends on schedule with consideration of other football programs of the Nigeria Football Federation,” he told journalists.

 “Last season, the league winners got N100 million as prize money. This season, we are offering an improved package of N150 million with some of the prize money earmarked for facility improvement and players’ welfare.

We want every club to update their stadia and improve their players’ remuneration for better performance.

All the stadia classified as unfit to host NPFL matches remain banned, subject to inspection while that of the newly promoted clubs will also be inspected before the season starts.

Any stadium that doesn’t meet the set standard will not be allowed to host any league game.

The NPFL Chairman discusses officiating and expresses his hope that referees who performed admirably last season will do even better this year, noting that the success of last season was largely a result of the early payment of referees’ indemnities and allowances, as well as those of other match officials.

All through last season, we ensured that match officials got their dues two days before a game.

“We shall continue like that this season and will not hesitate to recommend any referee found wanting to the appropriate authorities for disciplinary actions,”
