The 2024/25 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season will kick off this Saturday with the clash between defending champions Rangers and Elkanemi Warriors.
The twenty (20) top-flight teams, for the second successive season, will play a full calendar campaign with a winner expected to emerge after 38 match days.
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.
Following the latest round of club licensing, a number of clubs will play outside of their traditional home grounds and with the scarcity of information, our Football Writer Samuel Areo has been able to curate the following for you.
