The Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) 2024/25 season will kick off on Saturday, 31 August, in a novel way.
On matchday 1, defending champions Enugu Rangers will take on FA Cup winners El Kanemi Warriors.
This season’s kickoff marks a significant departure from the past when the league’s commencement was often delayed. The match will also serve as the Community Shield of sorts. If the match ends in a draw, penalties will determine the winner, but a point apiece for the league will suffice for both teams.
