Sporting Lagos FC ends speculations over NPFL slot buy

After suffering relegation back to the lower league, Sporting Lagos FC has now quashed speculations about any interest in buying a slot back to the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL), should such an opportunity arise.


The Tech Boys informed their passionate supporters that instead, the team will compete in the Nigeria National League (NNL) next season.


Recall that the Tech Boys were relegated to the lower league after an unsuccessful campaign in the NPFL lasting just over a year.


Sporting Lagos FC lost their final match 1-0 to Shooting Stars of Ibadan, while Bayelsa United secured a crucial away win to remain in the NPFL.


However, rumors have circulated about a potential loophole involving one of the clubs that gained promotion to the NPFL, Beyond Limits, which was previously registered as a feeder club for parent club Remo Stars but competed in the NNL.


The founder of both clubs, Kunle Soname, initially planned for Beyond Limits to compete in the league, but there are reports suggesting he is reconsidering and may sell the slot to the highest bidder, with Heartland FC reportedly expressing interest.


While speculation is rife about a possible purchase, Sporting Lagos has stated that the club is not interested and officially confirmed their participation in the NNL next season in a statement.


The statement reads in part, “Even though it didn’t end the way we would have liked, when we look back, we’ll know it was part of the journey. And you are an important part of that journey.


“For all your support, through big wins against the biggest clubs in Nigeria, game postponements, on-field drama, nail-biting draws, and frustrating losses. For keeping the Sporting flag flying all season long. Thank you!


“We couldn’t have asked for a better person to share this journey with. The next chapter in our story continues in the NNL next season.


“Before then, we’ll be in touch regarding everything you need to know as we plan for the next season.”
