The Nigeria National League, NNL, has fined Sporting Supreme and Kada Warriors the sums of N200,000 and N500,000, respectively.
Sporting Supreme was fined for poor security arrangements, while Kada Warriors received a fine for unruly behaviour during the game.
According to the NNL, the official report of the match stated that the game was delayed by 41 minutes due to inadequate security, with only a few NSCDC officials and vigilantes present at the official kick-off time.
The report also noted that Kada Warriors fans were unruly, throwing sachet water onto the field in protest of the referee’s decision.
Additionally, the home team’s ball boys were accused of tactically withdrawing six match balls to delay the game, leaving only four balls visible with 12 minutes remaining.
The NNL also issued a warning to all participating clubs regarding the unsportsmanlike practice of hiding balls, stating that erring clubs will face heavy sanctions in the future.
Sporting Supreme and Kada Warriors have 48 hours from the date of notice to appeal the fines.
