The League Management Company (LMC), organisers of the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL), have now picked November 3 as a new kick-off date for the 2019/2020 NPFL season.
The new date is being backed by the conduct of the draw for the competition, held late on Monday in Abuja.
The draw was supervised by the LMC Chairman, Shehu Dikko, and the company’s Chief Operating Officer (COO), Salihu Abubakar.
According to the LMC, the league will revert to its original format of the 20 clubsides represented in a single NPFL log.

They will face each other once at their home stadium and once at that of each of their opponents, for 38 games each.
After a long consultative meeting which began at 6 p.m. and ended at 12 midnight, it was also agreed that the long-awaited season will now kick off on November 3 and it is expected to end on May 30, 2020.
