2019/2020 NPFL Season To Kick Off At Last …As LMC Picks Nov 3 Date

The League Management Company (LMC), organiser of the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL), has now picked November 3 as a new kick-off date for the 2019/2020 NPFL season.
The new date is being backed by the conduct of the draw for the competition, held late on Monday in Abuja.
The draw was supervised by the LMC Chairman, Shehu Dikko, and the company’s Chief Operating Officer (COO), Salihu Abubakar.
According to the LMC, the league will revert to its original format of 20 clubsides represented in a single NPFL log.
During the course of the season, which will run from November to May, each club will play in a double round-robin system.
They will face each other once at their home stadium and once at that of each of their opponents, for 38 games each.
After a long consultative meeting which began at 6 p.m. and ended at 12 midnight, it was also agreed that the long-awaited season will now kick off the 3rd day of next month.
It is expected to end on May 30, 2020.
