The Nigeria National League (NNL) is gearing up for its upcoming season.
Heartland of Owerri claimed victory in the 2022/23 season at the NNL Super Eight Championship in Asaba, showcasing their prowess in a fiercely competitive tournament.
As the dust settles, attention now turns towards the commencement of the 2023/24 season, with the NNL setting its sights on a September or early October kickoff.
The stakes were high as Sokoto United, Adamawa United, Ikorodu City, and Smart City squared off in the recent relegation playoffs held in Kano.
Each team fought valiantly to retain their coveted league status, a testament to the determination and passion that fuels Nigerian football. Sokoto United, Adamawa United, Ikorodu City, and Smart City emerged triumphant, securing their places in the upcoming season and reaffirming their commitment to excellence.
Mr. Aluo, a representative of the NNL, expressed the organization’s eagerness to ensure a seamless transition into the new season.
Central to this effort is the annual General Assembly Meeting (AGM), which serves as a platform for discussions and deliberations among club owners and league stakeholders.
During the AGM, pivotal decisions will be made, including the determination of the official kickoff date for the 2023/24 season.
Mr. Aluo emphasized the league’s intention to align with the directives of President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Ibrahim Gusau.
This strategic alignment aims to synchronize the NNL’s schedule with international standards, bringing the league in harmony with the global football calendar.
With the Nigeria Premier League poised to commence later in the same month, the NNL is eyeing a kickoff window of September or the first week of October for its upcoming season.
As anticipation builds and preparations unfold, football enthusiasts across Nigeria eagerly await the announcement of the official kickoff date for the 2023/24 NNL season.
With past successes under their belt and a commitment to excellence, the NNL continues to be a beacon of talent and passion, showcasing the vibrancy of Nigerian football on the national and international stage.
