Is Eric Chelle’s Super Eagles diaspora push lazy or smart

Debate has intensified over Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle’s growing reliance on foreign born players of Nigerian descent, with many asking if his diaspora recruitment drive is a smart strategy or a lazy shortcut.

Since taking charge, Chelle has widened Nigeria’s scouting network across Europe, targeting dual nationality professionals who are eligible to represent the country.

Oriental derby headlines NPFL Matchday 35 as Rangers chase Rivers

The Nigeria Premier Football League Matchday 35 schedule is set to be decisive in both the title race and relegation battle, with the Oriental derby between Rangers International and Enyimba standing out as the key fixture.

League leaders Rivers United face a tricky away test against Kano Pillars in a game that matters at both ends of the table. Rivers United are top with 58 points and must win to keep Rangers at bay, while […]

The race for the 2025 26 Nigeria Premier Football League Golden Boot has intensified, with six strikers now locked in a tight battle as the season enters its final stretch.

Collins is the only one among the top six to have […]

Rivers United eye Insurance hurdle as Rangers welcome Remo Stars

Rivers United, who sit at the top of the table, will be looking to protect their slim lead in front of their home fans.

Egbe seeks emergency action on crumbling NPFL stadiums

Sports facilities expert Ebi Egbe has called for a state of emergency on infrastructure in the Nigeria Premier Football League after the league slumped to 91st in the world rankings.​ Egbe, CEO of Monimichelle Sports Facilities Construction Limited, said the sharp drop confirmed years of neglect of basic football infrastructure. He blamed substandard pitches as the biggest single obstacle to the growth of the Nigerian game.​ According to him, no league can compete with top nations while matches are played on poor, outdated surfaces. He argued that good pitches can deliver up to 70 percent success for technically sound teams by allowing them to express modern tactics and ball work.​ Egbe noted that Nigerian clubs are at a clear disadvantage when they travel to countries with modern, FIFA‑standard stadiums in North and Southern Africa. He urged government and football administrators […]
