Shooting Stars reject NNL season cancellation
Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC) have rejected the cancellation of the 2019/2020 Nigeria National League season (NNL) by the League Management Company.
In a statement by the Media Officer, Tosin Omojola, the Ibadan based club also called on the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to allow justice and fairness prevail in its final decision making on the ongoing debate on how to end the season.
It will be recalled that 17 of the 20 clubs in the Nigeria Professional Football League voted during a virtual meeting to end the season using the Points Per Game formula.
“Given the resolution by clubs in Nigeria Professional Football
League (NPFL), calling for the cancellation of the entire season including that of the Nigeria National League (NNL) and other leagues, we hereby register our rejection of the move.
“To put the record straight, we state unequivocally, that 3SC as a club has no business dabbling into the issues of the NPFL, which is a separate league on its own.
“NPFL clubs’ decision to end the season, using the Point Per Game (PPG) format to determine who wins the league and which teams pick continental tickets is none of our business.
“We don’t have any issue about their decision not to relegate any club, a decision, they might have taken for reasons best known them,” the statement said.
