The Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL) has announced the postponement of the highly anticipated Matchday 2 fixture between El-Kanemi Warriors and Kwara United FC, originally scheduled for September 15. The decision comes as a direct result of the severe flood disaster that has ravaged Borno State, rendering it impossible to host the match as planned.
The devastating floods have caused widespread destruction and disruption, making it necessary for the league organizers to prioritize safety and take swift action. A new date for the encounter will be announced in due course, ensuring that the match can be played in a safe and conducive environment.
This postponement follows the teams’ respective Matchday 1 results, where Kwara United suffered a disappointing 1-2 home defeat to Niger Tornadoes, while El-Kanemi Warriors secured a hard-fought draw away at Champion Rangers International. The postponed match promises to be an exciting encounter, and fans will eagerly await the new date to see their teams in action.
The NPFL has expressed sympathy for those affected by the floods and is working closely with the affected clubs to ensure a swift return to action. Further updates will be provided in the coming days.
