Doma United Fined ₦5.25m, Three Matches Behind Closed Doors

The Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) has imposed a fine of ₦5.25 million on Doma United and mandated that the club play their next three home matches behind closed doors. This decision follows incidents of alleged security breaches and supporter misconduct during the Matchday Nine fixture against Kun Khalifat FC, which ended in a 1-1 draw at the Pantami Stadium in Gombe.

The NPFL cited Doma United's failure to provide adequate security and the entry of unauthorized individuals into restricted areas. Additionally, the league noted hostile behavior from Doma United supporters towards match officials and the visiting team.

A Kun Khalifat official was also reported to have engaged in gross misconduct after the match. The fines include ₦3 million for repeated security failures, ₦1 million for hostility towards officials, and ₦250,000 for medical expenses incurred by Kun Khalifat head coach Obinna Uzoho, who was injured during the incident.

Doma United has 48 hours to appeal the sanctions.
