Enugu has been selected as the host city for the Nigeria National League (NNL) Super Eight playoff, announced by NNL chairman George Aluo on Monday.
The decision comes after the Enugu State Government pledged its commitment to providing all necessary logistics for a successful competition.
“I’m happy to announce that Enugu State Government has graciously accepted to bring the Super 8 to the home of Nigerian football,” stated Aluo.
“We at the NNL are grateful to the Governor and the Commissioner of Sports of Enugu State for this kind gesture and we promise all the participating teams that they will be treated to the best of hospitality the Coal City is noted for as the governor has equally promised to make all logistics available for a hitch-free championship,” he added.
The Super Eight tournament holds at the conclusion of the second-tier league, determines the overall champion of the second-tier league and promotes teams to the Nigerian Premier Football League.
Among the teams already qualified for the championship are Nasarawa United, Sporting Supreme of Abuja, and Sokoto United.
