NPFL clubs get ultimatum to launch websites

By Daily Sports Nigeria on August 17, 2024

The board of the Nigeria Premier Football League has directed all the clubs in the country’s topflight to start operating functional websites within the next month.

This was part of the decisions reached at a one-day summit for club media directors, which was held in Makurdi, Benue State on Friday.

According to the league body, the move is to support social media platforms to drive engagement and secure revenue streams from such platforms.

“At an interactive session with the club media directors, the NPFL Chief Operating Officer, Davidson Owumi informed the participants that a letter would be written to clubs that are yet to set up websites to do so within one month,” the NPFL stated via its website.

“Owumi also advised the media officers to invest in personal development to improve their skillset and contribute qualitatively to the development of their club’s engagement with their fans and communities.”

Resource persons at the workshop include the NPFL Director of Media, Harry Iwuala, who spoke on becoming an effective club media officer

There were also presentations by multimedia journalist Andrew Randa who dwelt on deploying multimedia tools to improve the functions of the club media.

NPFL Head of Legal and Compliance, Uche Egbe, explained relevant codes of the framework and rules guiding the conduct of club officers.

Other speakers at the event were Lazarus Ibeabuchi, head of public relations at StarTimes, the official broadcast partner of the league and Andrew Ekejiuba of GTI Assets Management.

The 2024/25 season is expected to start on August 31 with an opening fixture between reigning champions Enugu Rangers and Federation Cup winners El-Kanemi Warriors.
