NPFL Moves Against Unaccredited Youth League

Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) clubs have been warned against participating in any youth league that is not sanctioned by the board. Clubs have been directed to cease involvement in the N-Youth League, which has no official affiliation with the NPFL.

The NPFL Youth League is the only active league recognised by the board, and participation in unauthorised leagues could undermine its integrity for clubs in the top division, particularly as lower division and amateur teams also compete.

The NPFL board is the sole authority permitted by the NFF to organise a youth league for clubs in the elite division.
