By Oyediji Oluwaseun Babatunde
The Second Round of 2025 Nigeria Beach Soccer League (NBSL) initially scheduled to take place in Kaduna State now have a new host.
Postponed till July, the second round of the season will now take place in Anambra State.
All attention will now shift to the third week of August when Anambra state will stage the second round during the YAM Festival.
Notably, Nnewi in Anambra State hosted the second round of the 2024 NBSL season.
The change in host venue was due to logistic reasons warranting inability of Kaduna to stage the second round.
This was confirmed by the league coordinator Mahmud Hadejia, during a virtual meeting involving participating teams held over the weekend.
He said, last season Nnewi was explosive. It gave the league a new vibe and memorable experience for the first time it was hosted in the eastern part of the country. The teams enjoyed it, so we all want to experience it again.
Relatively, the third round of the league is being considered to be hosted in a new center with strong interest from Kwara State.
Round three will determine the teams which will qualify for the Super Six (6) Playoffs in Akwa Ibom State later in December.
Eight teams started the league when Round one took place in Kebbi State.
They are defending Champions Kebbi Fishers BSC, Kebbi United, Kada BSC, Anambra Beach Soccer Warriors, Nmanko Patigi BSC, Niger BSC, Ibom BSC, and Jigawa Golden Stars BSC.
Kebbi Fishers has won three of the four seasons of the league with Kada BSC emerging as champions in 2022 at the end of the second edition.
