The opening game of the 2023 Nigeria Professional Football League is set to kick off as planned as Bendel Insurance stormed Uyo, BSNSports.com.ng has gathered.

Since the 2021/2022 season ended in June, the resumption of the new season has experienced some delays due to some circumstances.

The Abridged format is agreed to go on this weekend but after the Interim Management Committee and club owners met with the Nigeria Football Federation, it was agreed that one game should be played while the other resume a week later.

The newly promoted Bendel Insurance arrived in Uyo on Friday evening ahead of their clash with the former champions Akwa United.

The game is slated for the Goodswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo on Sunday.
