I have checked the major leagues across the world there's nothing like super anything. Once you top the league at the end of the season, you've won it, simple.

Imagine Man City playing top 6 with UTD, arsenal, Newcastle, Liverpool, Tottenham to determine the league winner after topping the league. I don't understand this kind rule OOO.


Kudos to the state government led by shaibu for a great job.

They are called Playoffs and quite common, not just in football but in other sports like NBA, NFL and Rugby League

watched the highlights of the match was grossly disappointed at the refree that gave the penalty, for pete's sake that wasn't close to any penalty!
the ball hit the rangers thigh onto his hand which was close to his body yet with the close proximity of the blind ref he called it a pen angry
no wonder our refs are rarely invited to continental or inter-continental matches
that ref was close enough to see that wasn't hand ball
angry angry angry angry angry

Somebody should help Nigeria FA board to change this cup from wooden base. To what's globally presentable. This cup is an insults to Nigeria as biggest in Africa. This is the type of cups you find in most Secondary school principal offices.

Play offs are only done in lower leagues in England. I used the word major leagues: England, Spain, Italy, Germany. Playoffs will only make sense where you need to pick 2 or more teams for promotion to a higher league like it's done in England. It's not something for top leagues.

Insurance of Benin would have done the double if not for the useless so called super six. I don't know where NFL got that useless concept from.

Why did they not create sub six at the bottom of the league to also determine who's relegated? Rubbish!

Reason before you talk. Talk is cheap
Do you know the distance from Edo to damaturu? Or el kanemi of borno?

No club except akwa United team fly jet to other states for their matches. The all use coaster buses and hiace bus to travel long distances to play matches. Travelling two days journey for an away games is not easy and not realistic now hence the super six to b camped in one state

Stop comparing pounds sterling to Naira.
League also need to make money for the league winner. How much do you think the league makes after 38matches to pay the winner 100million naira. They need more of this to meet up. Man u need go sport school to learn how it is done

Dead brain! How does traveling to play matches concern repeating a mini league when the league already ended with a table topper who ordinarily should be the league winner? Mu...mu

It really is a pity that the govt. Isn’t throwing it’s weight around football in a football loving country like Nigeria. One would have expected at least an invite to the governors office or the governor sending a representative to encourage them. Sport is another medium the youths could gain employment.
May God help us.
