Bail Us Out, NNL Tells NFF As Kick Off Date Shifted By One Week

NNL Kick off Date Shifted y One Week, To Start on April 10 By Admin The 2018/2019 Nigeria National League, NNL will no longer start on Wednesday 3rd April 2019 as earlier scheduled. This shocking news was as a result of a lack of sponsorship fund to get the league running for the season. NNL therefore, appealed to NFF to bail the second tier league out financially to prosecute the 2019 league season. This is due to a recommendation by the NFF Football Committee, which met in Lagos Sunday and gave a directive to the NNL management to shift the kick-off date from 3rd to 10th April. Following the directive from the NFF, the League will now kick-start on Wednesday 10, 2019. In their meeting, the Committee commended the NNL for concluding the League and setting a good pace in kick-starting the 2019 League season. The Committee also took a critical look at NNL submission on officiating, Referees indemnity, General Administration of the League relative to the NFF, CAF and FIFA Calendar and directed that the Referees Committee work out a modality of ensuring good officiating in the League for the 2019 NNL season. Also, that the NFF should bail out the League financially to prosecute the League pending when the League gets sponsorship.
