NNL fixes April 24 for Super 4 playoffs draw
The Nigeria National League (NNL) says the draw for the 2025/2026 Super 4 Playoffs will hold on April 24.
The Director-General, National Sports Commission (NSC), Bukola Olopade, in a statement on Sunday by his media aide, Kola Daniels, said the draw would take place at Marriott Hotel, Ikeja.
Mr Olapade said, “The draw will set the stage for the final showdown of an intense season. The Super 4 tournament, determining the overall NNL champions, will hold from May 1 to May 8 at Remo Stars Stadium, Ikenne, Ogun.
“Doma FC, Inter Lagos and Sporting Lagos have secured promotion to the Nigeria Premier Football League, underlining their consistency throughout the campaign. Attention now shifts to the remaining promotion ticket and the battle for Super 4 qualification.”
In the Southern Conference, Sporting Lagos and Inter Lagos have secured tickets to the elite league and a shot at the Super 4 crown.
Meanwhile, the Northern Conference presents drama. Ranchers Bees, known as the Sadiq Umar boys, remain in contention, facing stiff competition from Jigawa Golden Stars.
Mr Olapade noted, “The 2025/2026 NNL season has delivered compelling football, with improved officiating, increased visibility and stronger investment in club welfare. These positive changes have been spurred by investment from Toptier Sports Management. With only days to go, Nigerian football enthusiasts stand on the brink of a defining moment. Time will reveal the outcome.”
