<br>Did You Know?
The NPFL has grown to be one of the most followed football leagues in Africa, showcasing a blend of local talent and competitive football.
Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne is known for its vibrant atmosphere, contributing significantly to the home advantage that Remo Stars enjoys.
Rivers United was established relatively recently, in 2016, following the merger of two older clubs, and has quickly become a formidable force in Nigerian football.
The CAF Confederation Cup, in which Rivers United competes, is the second top-tier club competition in African football, analogous to the UEFA Europa League.
Adjustments and rescheduling in the NPFL are often due to overlapping schedules with CAF competitions, highlighting the increasing prominence of African clubs in continental tournaments.
