Blueprint For A More Attractive And Commercially Viable Nigeria Professional Football League

5 DAYS AGO - By 2025, Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) will be the very best in Africa and comparable to some of the top football leagues in Europe - This is a vision statement really!Perhaps, you may want to ask "How can this be?"First, let us establish what's the right parameter for measuring the success of a sport enterprise like NPFL?Of course, like any other enterprise, the success can either be measured by the number of people that consume and use their product or how profitable the enterprise has become in-terms of generating revenues in excess after scaling off expenses.In both parameters, NPFL seems to be struggling badly. In fact, if not for government spoon feeding the enterprise would have long "Kaput" (died a natural or self destructive death).The Trouble with NPFL?Today, teams are playing in stadiums at less than one third capacity (with an average of 3000 attendance), NPFL ticket sales were only about N30 million last season 2018, Shirt Sponsorship and licensing Collapse
The Rise of Tammy Abraham - Is Far More about being at the Right Place at the Right time

10/10/2019 - Eight goals from seven Premier League starts have returned Tammy Abraham to the England squad. Two years on from receiving his first international caps, in friendlies against Brazil and Germany in which he looked coltish and out of place, Abraham is back – and deservedly so.So how good he is now; and what caliber of player might he become?Really, those are the wrong questions to ask. If Abraham's rise is an example of anything, it’s that the initial judgment of a player can so often be reductive and misleading. At the very least, it shows the error of considering him to be a what, rather than a who.At the time of his first call-up, Abraham was on loan at struggling Swansea. He had some good moments that season and, periodically, flashed some of the skill and instinct that he’s now exhibiting more regularly. But those weren't substantive hints. That is to say that nobody who watched him regularly that year - or even last season at Aston Villa - would have been convinced that he was Collapse

How Fans Engagement On Social Media Can Increase NPFL Match Attendence By 100%

04/10/2019 - Fans engagement on social media is the way to go for any club serious about getting its fans back to the stadium and growing their match attendance.Football is nothing without spectators, otherwise who are the teams entertaining when they play in a virtually empty stadium? Why I find it difficult to comprehend the reason League management company (LMC) and Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) clubs sit on the armchair and do nothing, just watching spectators thin out to almost empty stadium in most of their league games.Television viewership has also petered out. Football fans are not watching NPFL games because they are not following the league. They prefer to watch English Premier League and UEFA champions league on cable tv. Perhaps, due to the continuous decline of NPFL viewership on TV, SportSports decided not to renew their broadcast right.The thing is, today's fans always watch two screens... television screen and the screen of their smartphones, tabs or laptops.

26/09/2019 - Outrageous sums of money like that earned by Mino Raiola in Paul Pogba’s 2016 transfer to Manchester United could soon be a thing of the pastFIFA is expected to approve radical changes to the regulation of agents today, according to a report from the New York Times’ Tariq Panja.The new rules will attempt to significantly reduce the fees that agents are able to charge as their players move between clubs. Under the new legislation, agents will also reportedly be unable to act as a representative for both the buying and selling clubs in the same transaction.Moreover, agent commission fees will be capped at 3% for buying clubs and players, and 6% for selling teams.These restrictions would seemingly prevent the situation that arose in 2016, when Mino Raiola reportedly earned over £41 million from Paul Pogba’s move from Juventus to Manchester United, and represented all three parties involved in the transfer.According to Football Leaks documents in 2017, Raiola trousered €27m from Juventus Collapse
