The Interim Management Committee (IMC) on Monday announced the kick-off date of the Nigeria Professional Football League as June 3 to Sunday, June 11.
Africa Sport Network (ASN) reports that a revised calendar of activities for the 2022–23 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Super 6 has been released. Davidson Owumi, the Head of Operations of the IMC, explained that the revision of the schedule was agreed upon with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to accommodate the league and the Federation Cup.
"With the Federation Cup round of 16 and quarterfinal fixtures slated for May 24 and 28, we reasoned that the Super 6 could no longer hold from the earlier date as some of the teams that might qualify for the play-off are also possibly going to be in the Federation Cup," he said.
He stated further that following a meeting with the NFF, a new schedule was agreed upon, which will see the finals of the Federation Cup continuing after the Super 6 on June 11.
On the calendar of events, teams are expected to arrive on June 1, while match officials will arrive in Lagos on June 2, with the first games on June 3.
There will be three games on each matchday, with free days in between each matchday.
The team with the most points at the end of the matches will be declared the winner under the IMC-approved format. With each of the six teams playing each other, there will be a total of 15 games on five matchdays.
The regular season of the NPFL, which was abridged into two groups, will be concluded on May 21, with the three top teams in each group qualifying for the play-off.
