The League Management Company (LMC), organisers of the Nigeria
Professional Football League (NPFL) have announced new dates for Match Day 17
and 18 of the 2018/19 season.
Match Day 17 of
this season’s competition was earlier slated for this weekend (April 28, 2018)
but the matches have been postponed due to the involvement of many elite
division sides in the State FA Cup grand finale billed for this Sunday across
the country.
The LMC have now
informed clubs of a new arrangement which will enable them adjust their
schedule accordingly. In the dispatch to the clubs made available to reporters
on Wednesday, Match Day 17 games have been postponed by a week to May 4 and 5,
2019.
Subsequently, Match
Day 18 matches originally billed for May 5 have been shifted by three days to
Wednesday May 8, 2019. The release reiterated that the regular league season
will still end as scheduled on May 26, 2019.
Meanwhile, the
rescheduled Match Day 9 game between Rivers United and Rangers has been moved
forward by a day to May 2. The game billed for the Yakubu Gowon Stadium, Port
Harcourt was earlier rescheduled for May 1 but has been pushed a little forward
as the previous date is being observed as Workers’ Day.
With six round of
matches left in the abridged league format of the NPFL, 2016 league champions
Rangers International and 2017 Cup kings Akwa United are sitting top of Groups
A and B respectively.
