Ikorodu City, Beyond Limits FC gain promotion to NPFL

Four teams have gained promotion to the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) for the 2024/25 season. 

The teams are Ikorodu City, Beyond Limits, Nasarawa United and El-Kanemi Warriors.

The clubs secured their promotions after finishing as the best two teams in the northern and southern conferences of the Nigeria National League (NNL) Super 8 playoff.

Beyond Limits, a youth team linked with Remo Stars, defeated Inter Lagos 1-0 in their final game to finish top of the southern conference with seven points.

Ikorodu City triumphed over Madiba FC 2-0 to take second position with five points.

In the northern conference, Nasarawa United completed an impeccable outing at the playoff, defeating Sporting Supreme FC 2-1 to top with nine points.

El Kanemi Warrior took second with a 4-1 victory over Sokoto United on the final matchday.

Both Nasarawa and El Kanemi were relegated from the NPFL last year.

The best teams from both conferences — Nasarawa United and Beyond Limits FC — will meet on Thursday to decide the 2024 NNL season’s winners.
