LMC makes fixture adjustments

The League Management Company (LMC) has made fixture adjustments in Match Day 9 and 10 games in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL).

Following the release of draws for the Federation Cup round of 64 games, some fixtures of the Glo Premier League has been adjusted and dates announced for outstanding fixtures involving the teams that played on the continent.

Salihu Abubakar, the chief operating officer of the LMC, announced the minor adjustments and explained that the adjustments are inevitable as the league dates have already been fixed before the Federation Cup draws were held.

“NFF programmes always take precedence over other football programmes and it is in deference to this code that the LMC has adjusted its league schedules”, he said.

The postponed Match Day 3 game involving Shooting Stars and Kano Pillars in Ibadan has been slated for Wednesday, May 6.

Warri Wolves are still involved in CAF Confederations Cup and have arrears of three games in the league, one of which comes up Thursday, May 7 against Dolphins FC in Port Harcourt.

No changes have been made to the Match Day 8 fixtures which would still hold on Sunday, May 10 but the Match Day 9 fixtures have been rescheduled for Wednesday, May 17 while Match Day 10 fixtures are to be played on Sunday, May 20.

The kick-off time for all the games is 4pm.
