The Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) has fined Enyimba FC and some of the club’s players following their part in the abandonment of the top-of-the-table fixture against Rangers in Enugu on Sunday.
Enyimba players staged a walkout after a stoppage-time penalty was awarded to hosts Rangers with the score at 0-0 in front of a packed-to-the-rafters Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium.
In a letter to Enyimba dated June 10, 2024, and signed by the NPFL Chief Operating Officer, Davidson Owumi, the league body listed several breaches of its rules by Enyimba, which brought the game into disrepute.
The NPFL said Enyimba violated Rule C9 by failing to ensure the proper conduct of their players, officials, and supporters.
The club was also cited for breaching Rule B6.23, which is disrupting the transmission of a live broadcast.
