The Nigeria Professional Football League matchday seven clash between Sporting Lagos and Kano Pillars at the Onikan Stadium Sunday, will not hold.
It was gathered that gospel artist, Dunsin Oyekan locked down the venue for his concert same day of the game.
“Due to an unforeseen scheduling conflict at Onikan Stadium, our NPFL game against Kano Pillars, which was scheduled for Sunday, November 5 has been moved to Monday, November 6 at 4:00 p.m.,” Sporting Lagos said in a statement on Friday.
“Because the game is on a Monday, we won’t have our regular game day activities. Entry to Onikan Stadium is free for fans who want to come and support the team.”
Football fans had their say in the postponement on X.
@iamgodwinantai:
“This is why we will continue to be left behind in the scheme of things. A league game moved to another day to accommodate a church event on what should be a football pitch. Smh.”
@HakeemLayeni:
“Can you imagine, a match was postponed because of a religious program. @followlasg can do better, they shouldn’t turn the stadium into an event center.”
@iam_exeebit:
“@BadboiMidel see league, is like saying Newcastle vs Arsenal will be postponed because of church service at the stadium.”
