NNL fixes outstanding matches for  Sunday

Sequel to the ruling by the Disciplinary Committee of the Nigeria Football Federation, the management of the Nigeria National League (NNL) has directed that the outstanding matches in the 2014/15 season be played simultaneously this Sunday 27th September, 2015.

The match Day 14: Division B1- Ekiti United versus Abia Comets will now be played for 32 minutes at new venue,  at the Ilorin Township Stadium, with the same match officials who were in charge on the 5th of September when it was first played in Ado Ekiti.

The tie lasted for 58 minutes before the trouble that resulted in the first encounter being abandoned, ensued.

In division A1, Spotlight FC of Katsina and Plateau United will face-off at the Area 3 Play Ground in Abuja.

Another division A1 clash is Kaduna United hosting Yobe Desert Stars of Damaturu, in Kaduna.

Supreme Fc  of Abuja are home to Adamawa United in Division A1

The Confluence Stadium in Lokoja is the venue for Kogi United versus Jigawa Golden Stars also in Division A1.

All State Football Associations involved have been duly informed by the management of the NNL to ensure the provision of adequate and effective security, and other necessary logistics for the smooth hosting of the matches.

In a related development, the NNL has awarded 3 Points and 3 Goals to Mighty Jets of Jos following confirmed report that ABS of Ilorin boycotted their week 14 match against the Jos outfit without due notice.
