NPFL ANNOUNCES DATES FOR RIVERS UNITED’S OUTSTANDING FIXTURES
The Nigeria Premier Football League, NPFL, has announced dates for the backlog of fixtures involving Rivers United.
The NPFL also announced that the league would embark on a temporary break to allow the one-time NPFL champions complete all their outstanding fixtures.
The league will be paused after this weekend’s matchday 32 games.
It will resume with matchday 33 games on the weekend of May 25-26.
The rearranged fixtures involving Rivers United, according to the NPFL, has been made to ease the logistics of travels as game dates have been fixed based on regional proximity of venues.
Thus, Rivers United’s away fixtures of matchday 21, 23 and 27 against Remo Stars, Kwara United and Sunshine Stars respectively will be played on May 5, May 8 and May 11.
