All clubs have been invited for this latest crucial draw which will see the earlier four (4) abridged division expanded to eight (8).
This is sequel to the decision of the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, Football Committee in Lagos Sunday to now extend the groupings from 4-8 for the season, after critically examining the situations in the NNL in tandem with domestic football calendar from the NFF, the African soccer governing body -CAF and that of the World ruling body -FIFA.
The new draw has been fixed for the NERA Hotels in Jabi area of Abuja and will start by 6pm, to further determine the new eight groupings.
…kick off new season April 10
The 2018/2019 Nigeria National League, NNL will no longer start on Wednesday 3rd April, 2019 as earlier scheduled.
This is following recommendation by the NFF Football Committee, which met in Lagos Sunday.
The League will now start on Wednesday 10, 2019.
The Committee commended the NNL for concluding the League and setting a good pace in kick starting the 2019 League season.
Also, the Committee 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 as follows:
That the Referees Committee works out a modality of ensuring good officiating in the League.
That the NFF should bail out the League financially to prosecute the League pending when the League gets sponsorship.
