Sharks to host Kwara Utd in Port-Harcourt

THE League Management Company (LMC) has moved today's Match Day 37 fixture between Sharks FC and Kwara United FC to the Mini Football Stadium of the Adokie Amiesimaka Stadium Complex as against the Nnadi Azikiwe Stadium.
The decision followed the ruling of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Disciplinary Committee which had relied on Article B13.24 to direct that Sharks FC play their next three home games at a neutral ground as part of the sanctions for abandoning the Match Day 36 fixture in Lafia against Nasarawa United.
The Port Harcourt club had earlier been ordered to play their next three home games at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium starting with the Match Day 37 fixture against Kwara United.
“The match will be played behind closed door and in the circumstance, we consider that venue neutral to both clubs as neither club side nor any other club for that matter has ever played at the Amiesimaka Stadium before", the LMC said in a statement.
