Interim Management Committee (IMC) has lifted the ban on shooting Stars fans that has prevented them from attending their club’s games at the Lekan Salami Stadium, Ibadan.

The suspension was imposed on the supporters last season as a result of numerous violent occurrences that led to attacks on match officials, club players, and stadium staff.

Clubs are also advised by IMC to be aware of and adhere to fixture changes.

Sunday home games for the three Southeast States clubs are scheduled to begin at 3 p.m.

A memo circulated to clubs and signed by Davidson Owumi, the Head of Operations of the IMC, reads, “Please be informed that effective from the Match Day 1 fixtures scheduled to hold on 14th and 15th January 2023 , all weekend fixtures taking place in the Southeastern part of the country will now kickoff at 3:00pm on Sundays.

“Consequently, the home matches of Abia Warriors FC, Enyimba Int’l FC, and, Rangers Int’l FC will take place as scheduled above.

“All clubs, officials and related stakeholders are hereby put on notice”, the circular stated.
