Seven NPFL clubs have been directed to carry out remedial works to ensure that their grounds meet the Facility Requirements of the Club Licensing Regulations before the August kick-off date of the new season.
Abia Warriors, Sunshine Stars, Shooting Stars, and Kwara United are among the clubs that have been directed to work on defects in their stadium.
Others are Niger Tornadoes, Plateau United, and the newly promoted El-Kanemi Warriors.
In a letter to the clubs dated July 2, Davidson Owumi, the Chief Operating Officer, Davidson Owumi informed the clubs through the letter that a number of them have been told about the unacceptable conditions of their playing turf and the absence of broadcast support facilities such as elevated camera stands.
“As we look forward to the meeting, letters have been written to some of the clubs whose facilities were found not suitable to host the NPFL matches in the new season in compliance with provisions of Facility requirements of the Club Licensing Regulations”, noted Owumi who urged the clubs not in receipt of the letters to embark on a self-review of their facilities to ensure they met requirements for approval.
