Nigeria Professional Football League clubs will spend a staggering N2.5m for COVID-19 tests per game as they gear up towards finding a way to complete the season, The PUNCH reports.
The PUNCH understands that the tests will be crucial in ensuring the NPFL football season can restart amid concerns over the players’ safety.
“Tests will be conducted on the players and the coaches as the case may be and I don’t see us having multiple venues. We might think of centres to have all the other games. Warri Wolves chairman, Moses Etu, called for the cancellation of the NPFL as several clubs will not be able to meet such demands.
“I believe those teams that represented the country on the continent last season should be made to fly the country’s flag again. “We don’t have such money for that now, COVID-19 has also hampered a lot of things,” our source said.
