The organisers have announced a shock postponement of the women's top-flight league due to the failure of clubs' compliance
The commencement of the 2020 Nigeria Women's Premier League season was scheduled for Wednesday, March 18 but it will now take place a week later, according to the organisers.
The expected decision taken by the board was surprisingly not due to the increasing spread of coronavirus which already hit 148 countries, with Nigeria confirming its third positive case on Tuesday.
In a letter to clubs on Monday, the Nigeria Women's Football League secretariat announced the shock postponement 24 hours to the country's women's top-flight season.
