NNL has removed Gateway United and Malumfashi FC from the national league

Malumfashi FC and Gateway United have been eliminated from the Nigeria National League (NNL) tier.

The decision was made by the league board as a result of both teams’ failure to abide by the NNL’s codified rules and regulations regarding entry and participation requirements for the 2023–2024 season.

Dr. Ayo Abdulrahman, Chief Operating Officer of the NNL, said the decision was made after the teams had used all of the waivers that had been given to them so they could play in the league.

The NNL’s professional status for Gateway United and Malumfashi is also forfeited as a result of the development that Abdulrahaman emphasised.

Together with Solution FC of Awka, Trade Safe of Lagos, Osun United, Ijebu United Int’l Lagos, Crown Football Club, FC ONE Rocket Abat, Giant Brillars of Enugu, and Ikorodu City of Lagos, Gateway United was placed in Conference B.
