NPFL Referees To Use Gadgets From Next Season, Says Chairman
The Chairman of the Nigeria Premier Football League, Gbenga Elegbeleye, has said referees in the Nigerian topflight will begin to use gadgets to aid their officiating next season as part of efforts by the league board to improve the NPFL.
The 2023/24 season ended on Sunday, with Enugu Rangers winning their eighth title with a five-point gap.
The season didn’t go down without controversial decisions by referees, some of which led to the suspension and expulsion of some of the officials.
Having announced August 31 for the resumption of the 2024/25 season, Elegbeleye said the NPFL board was poised to improve the quality of officiating in the Nigerian topflight.
