NPFL Postpones El-Kanemi Warriors vs. Kwara United Clash Due to Maiduguri Floods
The Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) has announced the indefinite postponement of the matchday two fixture between El-Kanemi Warriors and Kwara United, originally scheduled to take place at the El-Kanemi Stadium in Maiduguri on Sunday, September 15.
The decision to postpone the match follows the recent flood disaster that has severely affected Maiduguri, causing widespread disruption in the area.
El-Kanemi Warriors, who began their 2024-25 season with a goalless draw against defending champions Rangers, are facing additional challenges this season. The team, crowned champions of the 2024 President Federation Cup, was recently eliminated from the CAF Confederation Cup in the first round by Beninese side FC Dajde.
The NPFL has not provided a new date for the rescheduled match, stating that it will monitor the situation closely and make further announcements in due course.
The flood in Maiduguri has had a significant impact on local activities, prompting concerns over safety and logistics for both players and fans. The postponement reflects the league’s commitment to prioritizing the safety and well-being of all involved.
Fans and stakeholders of both clubs will now await further updates from the NPFL regarding the rescheduling of the match.
