NPFL board increases referees allowance for new season

The Nigeria Professional Football League’s board of directors has approved an increase in referee compensation for the 2023-24 season.

With the help of the league’s strategic partners, GTI Assets Management, a 30% increase has been accomplished.

Gbenga Elegbeleye, Chairman of the NPFL, stated that the rise was based on the general increase in transportation costs throughout the country.
