The final matches in the Nigeria National League Super 8 play off will be played simultaneously at two venues, Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium and the University of Enugu UNEC Temporay Stadium, reports BSNSport.comng.

The first of four matches will be played 10am on June 12, 2024 while, the second and last set of games are scheduled for 12:30pm.

The Northern Conference is open for all teams even with Nasarawa United on 6 points after two wins and would be needing a draw to pick one of the tickets to the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL).

The fixtures between Caliphate side Sokoto United and El-Kanemi Warriors and that between Beyond Limits Academy and Ikorodu City will be played strictly behind closed door .

NNL Chief Operating Officer, Dr.Ayo Abdulrahaman says the idea is to avoid clashes from the supports of both teams who have the tendency to drive their emotions beyond uncontrollable measures in such critical matches.

Recall the NNL fined El-Kanemi Warriors One Million Naira (₦1m) following the unruly behave of their supporters on Match Day 1 with Nasarawa United.

Sporting Supreme having won one and lost to El-Kanemi Warriors also have 3 points. Sokoto United is the only team with no points but could qualify if they beat El-Kanemi Warriors enough depending on the outcome of the tie between Sporting Supreme and Nasarawa United.

The last day fixtures will see sporting Supreme and Nasarawa United play at 10am at the the Cathedral while Sokoto United El-Kanemi Warriors at the UNEC Temporay Stadium.

The Southern Conference will see Ikorodu City battle Madiba FC at the Cathedral as Inter Lagos engage Beyond Limits of Ikenne-Remo Ogun State.

Beyond Limits top the group with 4 points after one win and a draw, Oshodi Boys Madiba have 3 points after shocking Inter Lagos 2-1 on Match Day 2, leaving Ikorodu City on 2 points and Inter Lagos a point.

Dr.Ayo Abdulrahaman said the decision to play the games simoultaneously is to give fair chance to all the teams to play to their strenghts without any bias or advantage.
