Plans have concluded to stage a glamorous 2022/23 Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) Draw event to usher in the new season, which starts on January 8.
The Interim Management Committee (IMC) says that bringing glamour to the Draw is integral to its strategic plans to add value to the NPFL and attract more followership and Corporate Sponsorship.
Hon Gbenga Elegbeleye, Chairman of the IMC hinted that at the heart of the plans is the invitation of former international and NPFL players to the event which holds on Wednesday, December 28 at Sandralia Hotel in Abuja.
Further to this, the IMC also disclosed through a memo to the clubs, that it has secured the approval of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to hold the draw for an abridged format of the season.
In the memo, the IMC wrote, “Recall the meeting of IMC with Clubs Owners on the 21st December 2022 at
Sandralia Hotel, where it was decided that the IMC will inform the NFF on the decision to organise the draws for the 2022/2023 league on December 28, 2022 and that the league will commence on January 8, 2023 on Abridged League Format…”
“The purpose of this letter is to convey the approval of the NFF to organise the draws on December 28, 2022 and the League will commence on the 8th January 2023 on an Abridged League Format,” the memo stated.
