Nigeria League Resumes Next Wednesday, as Refs End Boycott

The Glo Premier League will resume next week Wednesday after the Nigeria Referees Association (NRA) called off its boycott.

The League Management Company confirmed the NRA have decided to resume officiating two weeks after “suspending their services” because of uncertainties in the Nigeria Football Federation.

It says the Wednesday, September 17 resumption date is “now firmed up with all parties”.

“The Nigeria Referees Association says it is now ready to work now that the rightful leaders of the NFF have resumed in their office,” the LMC tweeted.
