Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) outfit, Abia Warriors, have reminded fans that they would not be part of the matchday 21 rescheduled home fixture against city neighbors, Enyimba Int’l, on Wednesday June 23 2021 .
This reminder is contained in a club statement signed by the Club Sporting Director, Mr Patrick Ngwaogu.
The statement notes this directive is in line with a letter from the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, dated June 7th 2021.
The statement, however, said only team officials and players, will be allowed into the Okigwe Township Stadium, venue of the derby encounter tomorrow.
“Since the beginning of the current campaign, Abia Warriors, have largely played their home games behind close doors,” the statement said.
The revised fixture had ended 1- 0 in favor of Enyimba at the Enyimba township stadium in Aba in the club first league match of the current 2020/2021 NPFL season.
