In keeping with it's plans of introducing series of innovative ideas  that will move the country's league forward, the Nigeria Premier League ( NPL) Thursday, August, 17, 2023,  inaugurated a technical committee saddled with the responsibility of selecting the best players in the league that will form part of proposed end of the season team.
The selected players will have the opportunity to travel to Spain for two weeks and engage in friendly games with a LaLiga side that is now in partnership with the NPL while the best coach selected will also travel with the team.

Speaking while inaugurating the committee at the board room of the strategic partners of the NPL;  GTI Assets Management and Trust Limited, Lagos,  the  Chairman of Nigeria Premier League, Gbenga Elegbeleye explained that the idea of having a technical committee for team of the month selection may not be entirely new but that the board is putting  the added flavour and benefits of going to have an end of season team and an All- Star squad that will spend two weeks in Spain playing friendly games with top LaLiga sides.
" Right now, we have secured an  agreement  with a top LaLiga club to host our NPFL selected team and arrange for them to play against some other top teams in Spain. 
"This no doubt will be an enriching experience for the players as they will have the opportunity to train and play against some of the very best teams in LaLiga. It also  has the added edge of going to form the nucleus of a future CHAN Eagles team.
He reminded those who have been selected as members of  the committee to consider it as a call to service and contributing  their quota towards  the growth of the country's domestic football.
