Enyimba to begin title defence in Aba against Bendel Insurance

The 2023/2024 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season is set to kick off on 9 September, with defending champions Enyimba International drawn to begin their title defence against the high-flying Bendel Insurance.

The matchday 1 fixtures were released by the interim management committee (IMC) of the NPFL on Tuesday, and it sees the People’s Elephant starting with a tasty clash against the Benin Arsenal.

Already dumped out of the CAF Champions League unceremoniously, Enyimba will be looking to build on their remarkable grip on the domestic scene, which has seen them win a record-breaking nine titles.
