FG OKAYS FOOTBALL LEAGUES RESTART

The Federal Government has approved the resumption of football leagues in Nigeria.

The coordinator of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, Sani Aliyu, made this known on Thursday.

He, however, said matches will resume without spectators at the stadiums.

The league was suspended indefinitely after match-day 25 in March, due to COVID-19.

“Restriction is removed on outdoor communal (non-contact)sports and use of recreational parks for supervised physical exercise and sporting leagues to resume with no fans in stadiums,” he said.

The Nigeria Football Federation had canceled the 2019/20 Nigeria Professional Football League season.

There would be no promotion to the top tier league from the Nigeria National League while no team from the NPFL would be relegated, the NFF added.
