The Nigeria National League (NNL) has announced Owerri, the Imo State capital, as the host city for the 2026/2027 Annual General Meeting (AGM).
NNL Chief Operating Officer (COO), Mr Danlami Alanana, said Governor Hope Uzodinma has given the nod for the 17th AGM to be hosted in the Eastern Heartland.
“We are delighted that the sports-loving governor of Imo State, Senator Hope Uzodimma, has magnanimously approved NNL’s request to host our AGM in Owerri. This is one of the most important events in our calendar,” Alanana disclosed.

The AGM, a precursor to the 2026-2027 NNL football season, is scheduled to hold on August 21, with top officials of the nation’s soccer governing body, led by NFF president Alhaji Ibrahim Gusau and General Secretary, Dr Mohammed Sanusi, in attendance.
According to the schedule released by the NNL secretariat, the 36 NNL clubs are expected to converge on Owerri on August 20 and depart on August 22.
Although the venue of the AGM in Owerri will be communicated to the clubs in due course, all the clubs have been advised to take note of the date and host state.
Far-reaching issues such as the roadmap for the 2026/2027 season, club licensing regulations and possible review and amendments to the NNL rules and regulations will headline the AGM.
Alanana further commended Uzodinma for his kind gesture and undying love for sports.
“We can’t thank the governor enough for his love for the game and the youth of this country. Little wonder Imo State keeps producing myriads of great sports stars for the country,” he added.
