Read Time:1 Minute, 11 Second
Kwara United has been fined N6 million by the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) for interfering with the live broadcast of their matchday 31 matchup versus Akwa United.
Additionally, Kwara United was accused of giving incorrect information that resulted in a change of schedule.
The Harmony Boys, citing a letter saying the state government had scheduled an event at the stadium, requested that their match against Akwa United be postponed from Saturday, April 20, to Sunday, April 21.
The fine was contained in a memo sent to the club.
The statement reads: “You are in breach of Rule C1.1 of the Frameworks and Rules of the NPFL, in that on Thursday, April 18, 2024, prior to your Match Day 31 fixture: Kwara United FC vs. Akwa United FC, you brought a late application for the rearrangement of the fixture outside of the prescribed time for making such applications, basing your application on a lie and relying on falsified documents, an act capable of bringing the game to disrepute.
“You are in breach of Rule B6.23 of the Frameworks and Rules of the Nigeria Premier Football League, in that on Thursday 18 April 2024, prior to your Match Day 31 Fixture: Kwara United FC vs. Akwa United FC, you disrupted the live broadcast of a game by making false claims about the unavailability of your home ground.”
Kwara United have 48 hours to appeal the verdict.
