    NPFL reaffirms ban on slot sales, unveils fixtures

    The Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) has reiterated its stance against the sale of league slots, emphasizing that such actions violate the fundamental principles of the league’s framework.

    Speaking during the league’s Annual General Meeting and official draws in Abuja, NPFL Chairman Otunba Gbenga Elegbeleye addressed recent concerns regarding Heartland’s acquisition of Beyond Limits’ slot.

    Elegbeleye explained that the intervention became necessary as both Beyond Limits and Remo Stars are owned by the same entity—an arrangement that breaches the league’s regulation against dual ownership.

    “In this situation, Beyond Limits and Remo Stars are from the same source. We cannot allow one entity to own two clubs in the NPFL; it’s against the rules,” he said.

    He also clarified that there was no monetary transaction involved in the transition. “The proprietor of Beyond Limits never mentioned money. We met with them as stakeholders, explained the situation, and they willingly agreed to step aside without any argument or financial demands.”

    Elegbeleye added that the league had approached other clubs, including Sporting Lagos and Gombe United, who declined the offer to step in. Eventually, Heartland was selected. He emphasized that the scenario was an exception—not a precedent.

    “If a similar case arises where a single entity owns two clubs, we’ll handle it the same way. But outside such circumstances.

    no club will be allowed to sell its slot,” he stressed.

    Meanwhile, the NPFL confirmed the promotion of Wikki Tourists, Kun Khalifat, Warri Wolves, and Barau FC to the top flight, while Lobi Stars, Akwa United, Heartland, and Sunshine Stars were officially relegated.

    The 2025/26 NPFL season draws were also unveiled, with several mouthwatering fixtures lined up for the opening weekend. Defending champions Remo Stars will take on former champions Rivers United in the headline clash. Other fixtures include:

    Abia Warriors vs Kano Pillars

    Wikki Tourists vs Plateau United

    Katsina United vs Warri Wolves

    Rangers vs Kun Khalifat

    Kwara United vs Ikorodu City

    Elkanemi Warriors vs Bendel Insurance

    3SC vs Bayelsa United

    Barau FC vs Enyimba

    Niger Tornadoes vs Nasarawa United

    The new NPFL season is set to kick off on August 22, 2025.
