Barau FC vs Katsina United Match to Be Played Without Fans

The Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) has approved that the match between Barau FC and Katsina United will take place behind closed doors. This decision was made due to previous incidents of crowd violence involving the teams, which raised concerns about safety and logistics.

The league body stated that the request for a closed-door match was based on the conduct of fans in prior fixtures. The match is scheduled to occur at Sani Abacha Stadium on Sunday.

The NPFL has urged Barau FC to ensure that the necessary logistical requirements for the closed-door match are successfully met to avoid any further issues.
