2025/26 NPFL Season On Course To End May 24, Owumi Insists

Clubs in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) will observe a break this weekend for the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) President Cup window.

Davidson Owumi, the Chief Operating Officer, said the window created at the start of the season was intended to ensure seamless operations, free of the disruptions experienced in past seasons.

“We synergised with the NFF Competitions Department at the start of the season to create windows for the Federation Cup. It has been in effect since January, and we are running our calendar as designed,” Owumi told the NPFL Media.

Matchday 36 and 37 of the NPFL will now be played on May 3 and May 10, respectively, while another President’s Federation Cup window will be observed on May 16/17.

Owumi said the last games of the season will be played on May 24, as announced during the draw.

“We have been intentional to maintain fixture fidelity, and it took a lot of planning and cooperation from the clubs to achieve this”, declared Owumi
