After a lengthier than lent wait, the 2020/21 Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) season will commence this Sunday with twenty (20) teams slugging it out for the next thirty eight match weeks.
After nine months of extended and exasperating break caused most especially by the restriction on contact sports, Nigeria’s apex league is set to go once again with the League Management Company (LMC) promising one of the best seasons ever.
Here though, www.aclsports.com compiles for you the twenty teams and simple but crucial information regarding the head coach and home grounds of the participating teams for the upcoming campaign.
A number of changes has been made, a few clubs will play outside of their traditional home grounds and with the scarcity of information, our Chief Football Writer Fisayo Dairo brings you the information you cannot find anywhere else.
