Falode Appeals For Calm At NWPL Match Venues

NWPL Match day 3: Falode appeals for calm in match venues By Admin The Chairperson of the Nigeria Women Football League, Aisha Falode, has appealed for calm in all the venues for the NWPL matchday 3 league games across the country. Falode, stated that the crowd violence which reared its ugly head at venues of two Nigeria Professional Football League games in Lagos and Owerri, and the Nationwide League game in Jos, Plateau state, during the week is a scourge that should not be encouraged in Nigerian football. She advised that supporters and fans of home clubs should allow the management of clubs to deal with matters relating controversial officiating if any. "The club managers know the appropriate quarters to lay complain and protest in case of such. Clubs' supporters should not take laws into their hands, if they do, their darling clubs will suffer for it through resultant sanctions, banishments and sometimes point deductions. She noted that: "Referee Assessors and Match Commissioners should be allowed to do their job. They are at league venues to prevent dubious and controversial officiating. "The NFF through the LMC, NNL, NLO and NWFL have not relented in sanctioning erring referees across the leagues." She appealed to fans and supporters clubs across the country who will be watching Nigeria Women Premier League games this afternoon, to be peaceful and violence free. They should go to the stadia to support their darling clubs and enjoy the game. Violence in football destroys the game.
