League Suspension Big Distraction For Football Development
— Aug 30, 2014 | Leave a comment
The suspension of this weekend’s matches in the Nigeria
Professional Football League across the country by the League Management
Company, following refusal of referees to officiate in the league due
to the lingering crisis in Nigeria Football Federation, has been
described as huge distraction.
Media Officer of league leaders, Kano Pillars, Idris Malikawa, said the suspension was coming when other leagues had commenced their 2014/2015 seasons.
Malikawa said the suspension will negatively affect the development of the league as it is capable of distracting clubs and players. “This is unfortunate and in the interest of clubs, players and football development, stakeholders should resolve their differences. They should sit down and discuss their problems and settle them.”
He said situation like this affects Nigerian clubs at the continental level. After the LMC issued notice that matches have been suspended, the NFF urged stakeholders to discountenance the statement even though it is not likely that any game will hold.
