“Football is a part of the entertainment industry and generally, people get off work on Fridays, hence we want to capture this segment of the weekend market by offering them safe places beyond what they become accustomed to,” the NPFL COO explained.
The 2023/24 season has also witnessed the return of NPFL matches to television.
NPFL matches are also now streamed live through the Propel Sports Africa NPFL-Live on the Over The Top (OTT) platforms.
