The best four teams in the 2015/16 Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) season will converge on the ancient city of Enugu, starting from Wednesday 7th of December to Sunday the 11th for the 2016/17 pre-season tournament tagged the NPFL Super4. Last season, the tournament was held over the two legs in Kaduna and Uyo with Akwa United emerging the champions.

Assuredly, the best of Nigerian football artistry will be on display at “The Cathedral”, the famous home ground of reigning NPFL Champions, Rangers International. Quite befitting that the tournament holds at the end of what has been a historic year for the city of Enugu and lovers of the Flying Antelopes who ended a 32-year wait for a league crown in exquisite fashion back in early October.

This week’s occasion for the congregation of the nation’s best four teams and continental representatives in next year’s CAF competitions (Rangers, Rivers United, Wikki Tourists and FC Ifeanyiubah) is the NPFL Super4 tournament which in recent times have helped in kick-starting the continental hopefuls’ preparation for the new season and herald the commencement of a new league season.

Two of the four teams that will be on parade in Enugu have had managerial changes ahead of the new season – Wikki Tourists and FC Ifeanyiubah are now handled by Mohammed Baba Ganaru and Japanese Takeshi Nakamura – while last season’s top two sides Rangers and Rivers United have stuck with their Rivers state-born tacticians Imama Amapakabo and Stanley Eguma respectively.
