Enyimba drop to Confederation Cup in Nigeria as Plateau United Remain Titles Based on Point Per Game Formula

Plateau Utd 526x367 1

Following yesterday’s meeting held by the relevant stakeholders to resolve the crisis that is trailing the controversial decision by the Club Owners Association to cancel the 2020 league season and award continental slots based on the Points Per Game (PPG) mechanism, Plateau United still retain the title and Champions League slot but Enyimba have dropped to the second tier competition, the Confederations Cup. At their virtual meeting held last Sunday, 17 of the 20 NPFL clubs voted to end the season as they used Points Per Game (PPG )formula to settle for Plateau United, Enyimba and Rivers United for continental competitions. However, the decision of the club owners that didn’t go down well with Lobi Stars and Akwa United came under serious scrutiny which compelled the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), to call for yesterday’s peace finding meeting. Daily Trust gathered that the meeting which was presided over by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), had officials of the League Management Company, LMC, Chairmen of the 20 clubs and other relevant stakeholders in attendance.
