The much-anticipated 2023/24 Nigeria Premier Football League is set to kick off on Saturday, September 30, 2023, after facing two postponements.
The resumption date was officially communicated to the Chairmen of the 20 participating NPFL clubs by the League Board’s Chief Operating Officer, Davidson Owumi.
One of the key points of the communication was addressing marketing concerns.
The letter assured the clubs that the NPFL Board is committed to making decisions and entering contracts that serve the best interests of the league and the clubs.
Here’s a glimpse of what fans can expect this season:
1. Champions of the upcoming season will receive a substantial ₦150 million, marking a 50% increase from last season’s prize money.
