The League Management Company (LMC), has now proposed December 18, as the new kick-off date for the 2016/2017 Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL).
“Our target now is to start December 18 and end July 9, while our Super 4 will be between December 5 and 11,” LMC chairman Shehu Dikko disclosed on Tuesday.
“We also plan to start the 2018 season by the end of August 2017.
“All the clubs already have the schedule and planning.
“We want to align our calendar to Europe by the end of the 2017 season, which would be hugely beneficial for us both in terms of organization, planning and even finances.
“This will get our clubs going in CAF competitions as they will play at least 13 to 15 games before the start of CAF competitions in February 2017.”
The 2015/2016 season ended on October 2, with Enugu Rangers emerging champions for the first time in 32 years.
