Who are the three other clubs from the second-tier NNL to join Doma United in the NPFL next season?
The Nigeria National League (NNL) promotion battle has intensified with several clubs vying for places in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL).
Doma United have already secured promotion from Northern Conference Group C to end the hopes of Lobi Stars staging a prompt return to the NPFL.
‘The Savannah Tigers’ from Gombe were relegated from the Premier League two seasons ago.
In the Southern Conference Group B, Inter Lagos and Beyond Limits are locked in a tight contest for the single promotion spot.
Both teams have impressed, but only one can make it to the top flight. Beyond Limits have experience, having earned promotion two years ago, but were unable to take their place due to NPFL rules.
Inter Lagos, on the other hand, are determined to feature in the NPFL for the first time and are doing everything to secure the coveted spot.
Akwa United appear poised to secure promotion from Southern Conference Group A after they extended their lead to five points on the back of a 3-1 win over Ekiti United.
‘The Promise Keepers’ have been in top form, and their dominance is evident in their current league position.
However, Sporting Lagos remain in contention to play in the top league after they thrashed Stormers 5-1.
The Lagos side sit second with 27 points and have a game in hand, making them a force to be reckoned with.
In the Northern Conference D, the promotion battle is a three-horse race between Ranchers Bees, Yobe Desert Stars and Jigawa Golden Stars, with all final matches suspended pending resolution of pending cases.
The uncertainty surrounding the group has added an extra layer of intrigue to the promotion chase in this section.
