A THREAD of the NPFL Club licensing process.

If the clubs are honest with documentation while NFF & LMC investigate their documentation properly & sanction clubs who didn't meet up, the League will witness massive development within 5 years.

The checklist of Legal Criteria and Personnel & Administrative Criteria

No 7: Clubs must not have dual ownership. The case of Enyimba & Abia Warriors and Akwa Utd & Dakkada FC.

Expected Abia W & Dakkada FC will come up with documents of LG ownership, BUT we all know the TRUTH.

Financial Criteria & Sporting Criteria:

Clubs must have a financial benchmark of N200 million for the payment of salaries & other operations.

An average NPFL club payout over N10 million on players' salaries every month.

This will solve owing of players salaries in the League.

Section D is also very important.

- Clubs must have Youth Development Program.

- Clubs must register Youth Players for the season (I know LMC framework gave room for about 5 Youth players registration).

- Evidence of players contract, very key.

- Players medical reports.

Infrastructure Criteria:

Business, Commercial & Promotion Criteria 👇

How many NPFL clubs have a website? 🤣

My opinion:

The documents are available for us to ask questions in the future.

I don't think our clubs will meet up with all the requirements this season, but let's have a plan.

Let's have a target year & work towards achieving the development every season.

Let's be clear that the Club Licensing has been around for almost a decade but we decided to turn our eyes off it.

I hope this is the time for the real business?

Like I said earlier, there's a big difference between documentation & proper investigation of the documentation.

LMC will also set up an independent investigative body > First Instant Body (FIB), to verify submissions made by the clubs. There will be sanctions and appeals.
