Giwa FC are just one match away from being expelled from the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL).
The Jos team failed to show up in Ilorin for Sunday’s fixture against Wikki Tourists, which meant the home team conducted a walkover.
Giwa FC made it clear they will not travel for the game and there was no representation from them, as to why they stayed away. The club had been banished to Ilorin, after their home game against Enugu Rangers was abandoned because of crowd trouble.
According to the Framework and rules of the NPFL for the 2015/16 season, Article 13.27, “if a club fails to honour two consecutive matches without an acceptable reason to LMC such a club shall be expelled from the League and its matches played and unplayed match shall be cancelled.”
This sanction would also apply, should Giwa FC fail to honour three cumulative matches in the season.
Article 13.28 stated: “If a Club fails to honour three matches cumulatively within the League season without an acceptable reason to the LMC such a club shall be expelled from the League and its matches played and unplayed match shall be cancelled.”
