In a bid to ensure fair play and to give all teams equal chance and avoiding any dishonesty in the last set of matches, the Nigeria National League has ruled that the last set of matches in both conferences will be played same time and in different venues.
In a special meeting with representative of the eight clubs in Asaba at the Stephen Keshi Stadium,
the venues were democratically picked in a ballot format.
The last set of games on match day 3 will hold on Wednesday 5th July, 2023.
Katsina vs Kano Pillars will be played at the Stephen Keshi Stadium by 1pm, while the tie between DMD and EFCC will hold at the Jay-Jay Okocha Stadium, Ogashi-Uku, at the same time.
In the Southern Conference, Heartland FC of Owerri versus Sporting Lagos is scheduled for the Stephen Keshi International Stadium Asaba, at 3pm, while the game between Stormers SC of Abeokuta and FC ONE Rocket will take place in Ogwashi-Uku, at the same time.
Head of Operations, Nigeria National League, Emmanuel Adesanya said the decision became imperative to encourage equal opportunities to the clubs.
According to him, it is only a game and games are pointless unless played fairly.
