The 2022/2023 Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) season, which was scheduled to begin on 28 December, has been rescheduled.
The new date agreed upon by the Interim Management Committee (IMC)-the new custodians of the league, club owners, and other concerned parties is 8 January 2023.
The new league season, however, will be an abridged version rather than the usual 38-matchday format.
Chairman of the IMC Gbenga Elegbeleye confirmed the developments to the Abuja-based Sports News site, BSN.
He said: “The new season will be an abridged league format, and the IMC is not shifting ground on it.
“The January 8th kickoff has been agreed on by both parties.”
