Clubs’ hierarchy in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) has been charged to provide a conducive atmosphere at all times during the matches of the 2023/24 season.
The charge came through a memo to the clubs and signed by the NPFL Chief Operating Officer, Davidson Owumi who observed that there has been a number of disturbing incidents reported around the Changing Rooms of the Referees at some venues.
“It is becoming increasingly worrisome that unauthorised persons are encroaching to restricted areas during matches of the ongoing season, ” the memo began.
The Club bosses were reminded that no club official is allowed access to match Officials before, during and after any fixtures.
“It has become necessary to remind our Chairmen, General Managers and other top officials of the clubs that no club officer is permitted to visit or talk to Match Officials in their Changing Rooms at halftime or at any time in the course of a league match.
