The Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) has announced that all fixtures for Matchday 37 will have a simultaneous kickoff time of 3pm, reports BSNSports.com.ng.

Davidson Owumi, the Chief Operating Officer of the NPFL, stated that this decision aligns with the league's commitment to ensuring fairness for all participating clubs.

"We previously mandated that the trophy presentation ceremony in Ikenne would begin at 3 PM for safety reasons. After thoroughly assessing all the fixtures, which affect the outcomes for continental slots and relegation battles, we have decided to implement a uniform kickoff time for all matches," Owumi explained.

Matchday 37 fixtures are scheduled to take place on Sunday, May 11, at all venues.

The reigning champions, Remo Stars, will host Ikorodu City, who are vying for a top-three finish. Meanwhile, in Umuahia, another contender for a top-three spot, Abia Warriors, will take on El-Kanemi Warriors.
