The Nigeria Football Referees’ Association, NFRA, has urged Nigeria Premier Football League, NPFL, arbiters to strictly adhere to the laws of the game as the new season begins.
NFRA Acting President Sir Kelechi Mejuobi made the call in a message to match officials ahead of the 2026-27 NPFL campaign.
Mejuobi said a correct understanding and application of the laws is key to moving the domestic league forward.
“With the desire to reform Nigeria football and place it properly, especially now we have a title sponsor, what is expected of us is to officiate in accordance with the laws of the game and adhere to competition rules,” Mejuobi stated in his message.
