FC Ifeanyi Ubah say they failed to honour their match-day 20 Nigeria Professional Football League fixture against MFM FC because the match should have been played in Nnewi and not Enugu.
Match officials awarded MFM the maximum points as the hosts failed to show up for the encounter, which was scheduled for the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium in Enugu by 2pm.
The Lagos-based team in a tweet confirmed the result.
“MFM FC have been awarded three points and three goals by match officials after FC IfeanyiUbah failed to turn up for matchday 20 fixture game against MFM FC scheduled to kick off by 2:00pm in Enugu. The walkover formalities were performed by centre referee Nura Abdullahi in the presence of Milleye Abubakar, the Match Commissioner and Match Assessor, Peter Edibe.”
