NPFL 2025/26 Poised to Crown Most Competitive Champions in Decades — Iroha

Former Super Eagles defender Ben Iroha believes the 2025/2026 NPFL season could produce the most competitive champions in decades. He points to the tight race at both the top and bottom of the table as evidence of how organised the league has become. “With only three games left, no team can yet claim the title,” Iroha said. He highlighted that even the sides in third and fourth places still have strong chances, reflecting robust competition and fair officiating this term. Iroha also praised the synchronisation of NPFL fixtures with European leagues, noting its positive impact on Nigerian football. He urged the eventual champions to maintain their form on the continental stage. Looking ahead, he identified stronger commercialisation and improved television coverage as key to attracting more investment and taking the league to the next level.
