The Nigeria National League (NNL) has warned clubs against inciting violence during the 2024/2025 season, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The NNL Chairman, George Aluo, advised all participating clubs to adhere to the spirit of sportsmanship by avoiding violence.

He emphasized the importance of crowd control and unrestricted live streaming of both home and away matches.

Speaking at the closing ceremony of the NNL Clubs’ Coaches and Media Managers Workshop held at Remo Stars Stadium, Ikenne, Mr Aluo reiterated the league’s commitment to fair play and the safety of match officials.

Aluo assured the participants of timely payment of referees' indemnities, a move aimed at maintaining impartial officiating in all matches.

"We are dedicated to creating a league where clubs can achieve victory solely on their performance, regardless of venue. Referees’ indemnities will be paid on time to support unbiased officiating."

He called on clubs to dispense with the notion that they will experience bias officiating at away games.

Aluo encouraged clubs to allow away teams to freely stream matches, emphasising that clubs should have no concerns if they conduct matches fairly.

"We want a league where results are earned without controversy. Club managers are aware of the individuals who cause trouble, and we must work together to eliminate such practices.

"It’s time to end the cycle of ‘we rob you, you rob us.’ The NNL board remains impartial and will not favour any club.

Any grievances should be directed to the secretariat, where they will be addressed promptly."
