The Nigerian Premier Football League (NPFL) is upon us as the new season commences on August 31, 2024, with a thrilling encounter between defending champions Enugu Rangers International FC and and President Federation Cup winners El-Kanemi Warriors FC.
As the excitement builds, fans are waiting for the return of top-flight football, another opportunity to watch their favourite teams in action, Footballrover reports.
The league promises to be more competitive than ever, with a full-season format confirmed after initial concerns over financial constraints and a 200 million naira prize tag for the new winners.
