Chukazu:
When exactly did Lobi win the league?

They didn't. The league was ended abruptly and they were on top as at that period.

That's wrong of NFF...other clubs have the right to protest . There is nothing like unfinished league in NFF act.
It's very irresponsible of NFF leadership

There was a reason it was done. The league failed to resume immediately after the World cup was over. And CAF had a deadline for submission of clubs for its competitions. If the league was to continue, we'd have failed to meet the deadline. So a meeting with the 20 clubs and LMC concluded that the table topping team should be the one to represent Nigeria in CAF CL. So, all 20 clubs bought into the idea.

But I don't think Lobi was then awarded any trophy.

CAF Champions League: Nigeria’s Lobi Stars get tough draw



Nigeria’s sole campaigner in the CAF Champions League, Lobi Stars, have been handed a seemingly tough draw in the group stage of the competition.
At the draw ceremony conducted on Friday, the Nigeria’s flag bearer housed in Group A were pitched against the 2016 and 2017 champions, Mamelodi Sundowns of South Africa, and Wydad Casablanca of Morocco.
The Markurdi-based team will also be facing Horoya of Guinea.
Lobi, who qualified for the group stage of the competition for the first time since the year 2000, defeated Gor Mahia of Kenya in the last round of the competition.

Meanwhile, Rangers International of Nigeria have been drawn against Lesotho Premier League champion, Bantu FC, in the playoff stage of the CAF Confederation Cup.

Common copy n paste,you still didn't get it right?How can they still play Horoya n yet horoya is in group B? Always read through before you post and stop churning out wrong information.

dominique:
So they've upgraded to four groups instead of two, that's good.

Why then do we 've just one club representating us?

Nigeria has been reduced to 2 teams in the caf competition for failing
