….As officially announced that the 2025/26 season will commence on 22 August
The Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) has issued a strict warning to clubs ahead of the 2025/26 season: no functional floodlights and backup power, no home matches.
In a strongly worded memo addressed to all clubs, NPFL Chief Operating Officer, Davidson Owumi, emphasized that stadiums without standard LED floodlights and reliable backup power supply will not be approved for use next season.
Owumi highlighted the critical importance of proper infrastructure, noting that these requirements are essential for ensuring professional matchday operations, particularly for games played in the evening or under unpredictable power conditions.
The memo, also circulated to the NPFL Board, management, and staff, serves as a reminder that all clubs must have fully functional stadium facilities in place ahead of the routine stadium inspection.
Clubs have been urged to make all necessary upgrades and ensure full compliance, as no exceptions will be made once the 2025/26 season kicks off.
