Posted : 02 January 2025

The board of the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) has announced a mid-season break for the 2024/2025 season following the successful conclusion of the first round of matches, which ended with Matchday 19 across various centres. The announcement reflects the league's commitment to ensuring teams have adequate time to regroup and strategize for the second half of the season.

The NPFL declared a three-week mid-season break, accompanied by the opening of the transfer market from January 6 to February 5, 2025. This period provides clubs with the opportunity to strengthen their squads, address key deficiencies, and realign their objectives for the rest of the campaign.

The league is scheduled to resume on January 25, 2025, with the commencement of the second round of matches. As the first half concluded, Remo Stars emerged as the league leaders, amassing an impressive 36 points. They are closely trailed by Rivers United in second place, setting the stage for a highly competitive battle for the title in the coming weeks.

During the break, clubs in the NPFL have allowed their players to spend time with their families, offering a much-needed respite after a grueling first half of the season. This initiative not only prioritizes player welfare but also helps in fostering better mental and physical readiness for the challenges ahead.

The break also serves as a critical window for technical adjustments and managerial changes. Clubs that underperformed in the first half now have a chance to recalibrate their strategies, whether through tactical reshuffles or new player acquisitions. This period is expected to witness heightened activity as teams aim to realign their ambitions.

Meanwhile, fans across the country are eagerly anticipating the resumption of the league. The mid-season break has sparked discussions on social media and within football communities about which teams are best poised to make a strong push in the second stanza. Enthusiasts are particularly keen on how the top teams, including Remo Stars and Rivers United, will sustain their momentum.

As the second half looms, the NPFL management has reiterated its commitment to maintaining high standards of officiating and match organization. The league's stakeholders are optimistic that the mid-season break will contribute to an even more thrilling and competitive climax to the 2024/2025 season. Clubs and fans alike are gearing up for what promises to be an exciting continuation of Nigeria’s premier football competition.
