We didn’t postpone NPFL kickoff – Club owners

By Daily Sports Nigeria on August 25, 2023

Administrators of the 20 clubs in the Nigeria Professional Football League say they are looking forward to the kickoff of the 2023/24 season, dismissing insinuations that they were responsible for the postponement of the start of the new season.

General Secretary of the club owners, Godwin Enakhena, explained that the shift in kick-off date from August 26 to September 9 was only communicated to the association by the NPFL board.

The NPFL board led by Gbenga Elegbeleye, last week announced the two-week postponement, stating the need to install, test and train personnel that would operate the newly acquired AI cameras, which would be used to stream the league on a digital platform next season.

As a result, the board also postponed the draws for the new season from Thursday, August 24 (today) to Tuesday, August 29.
