The chairman of the Nigerian National League (NNL) board, George Aluo has commended the Delta State government for accepting to host the Super 8 play off, even as he confirmed that the Play off will take place at the Stephen Keshi Stadium, Asaba from July 5-12.

Speaking after a meeting with the Chairman of the Delta State Sports Commission, Solomon Oborevwori, Aluo said he was excited that the Delta State government agreed to host the Super 8 play off to cap off an extra ordinary season of the second tier of Nigerian league.

“I am happy to confirm and announce that the Super-8 play off will take place at the Stephen Keshi Stadium, Asaba, Delta State from July 5-12 to determine the eventual champion of the 2024/ 2025 season alongside those to be promoted to the Premier League. We are so grateful to Governor Oborovwori for accepting to host the play off. He has once again demonstrated his love for the Nigerian National League. We look forward to a very exciting event as the best 8 teams from the regular season converge in Delta State. If the standard of the regular season was so high, then what lies ahead in the Super 8 promises to be super fantastic.”

Osun United, Crown FC, Barau FC, Kunkhalifa FC, Warri Wolves, Doma FC, Yobe Desert Stars and Wikki Tourists have all qualified for the Super 8 Play off to determine the four teams that will be promoted to the Premier League.
