Nigeria Professional Football League stars say the return of televised games will help reduce malpractices in the league and create better opportunities for players to travel abroad for greener pastures.
On Sunday, the League Management Company began the airing of NPFL match-day games on television and a video viewing application that have received rave reviews from football fans around the world since it was launched.
Derbies between Akwa United and Dakkada FC, Enyimba and Abia Warriors as well as the game between Rivers United and Enugu Rangers were televised and also on the app.
With over 3,000 streams from England alone in the match between Enyimba and Abia Warriors live on the app, Lobi Stars goalkeeper, Daniel Atsaka, says players in the indigenous league will gain the needed exposure to the outside world.
