NFF Commends FG’s Intervention Fund for NPFL, Seeks Support for Lower Leagues

The Executive Committee of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has applauded the Federal Government, through the National Sports Commission (NSC), for providing a special intervention fund to support the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL).

According to the NFF, the funding initiative will help strengthen the league’s image, enhance its commercial appeal, and contribute to building a sustainable football economy in Nigeria.

The committee also welcomed the Federal Government’s commitment to extend similar financial support to the Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL), describing the move as a positive step toward the growth of the women’s game.

In addition, the NFF appealed to the Government, through the NSC, to broaden the intervention programme to include the Nigeria National League (NNL) and the Nigeria Nationwide League One (NLO), stressing that supporting all tiers of domestic football is essential for the overall development of the sport across the country.
