The Nigeria National League, NNL, has commenced inspection of stadium facilities ahead of the 2025/26 season.
The NNL in a statement issued on Thursday stated that all 36 participating clubs have been notified to submit their proposed home venues by October 13, 2025.
The clubs have also been directed to prepare for visits by the NNL inspection team.
As part of pre-season requirements, clubs must also complete all registration formalities and licensing procedures by October 24, 2025, a key step toward validating player eligibility and overall club readiness.

The Chief Operating Officer of the NNL, Mr. Danlami Alanana, reiterated the league’s zero-tolerance policy towards substandard playing surfaces.
According to him, any stadium facility that fails to meet the minimum standard will be disqualified from hosting matches.
“We honestly kick against poor pitches which lower our quality and may be injurious to the players, aside from not allowing the free flow of the game,” Alanana said.
“We are a professional league and clubs must imbibe acceptable pitch standards for the good of the game.”
