The Nigeria National League, NNL, has praised match officials for their professionalism and impartial officiating during the week 13 and 14 fixtures.
NNL Chairman George Aluo stated that the referees’ performances yielded positive outcomes across all match venues.
Aluo noted that such refereeing standards would help bolster confidence in the league.
DAILY POST reports that Sporting Supreme secured an away victory against Basira FC, while Sporting Lagos defeated Abakaliki FC 3-2 on the road. Ijele FC, however, lost 0-2 at home to Smart City.
“I want to commend our referees for doing a good job this weekend. They really handled all the matches professionally without fear or favour,” Aluo remarked.
“Their unbiased officiating made it possible for Sporting Supreme to record a 3-2 away victory against Basira FC while Sporting Lagos beat Abakaliki FC 3-2 on the road, with Ijele FC losing at home by 0-2 to Smart City.
“What this shows is that teams can now prepare well ahead of their matches knowing that once they play well, the host team will not get any undue advantage from match officials and I urge our referees to maintain the momentum,” the NNL chairman added.
