Naijaonpoint has reported that the 2023-2024 NPFL campaign will be on hold after matchday 32 to allow Rivers United to play their outstanding league games.

After Rivers United have cleared their backlog of games, the league will resume on the weekend of May 25 and 26 with matchday 33 games.

For ease of travelling across Nigeria for the backlog of games, the NPFL has decided to make Rivers United play four successive away games. The away games are arranged based on the proximity of the club’s opponents.

Rivers United will play Remo Stars (matchday 21; away) on May 5, Kwara United (matchday 23; away) on May 8, Sunshine Stars (matchday 27; away) on May 11, and then take on Abia Warriors on May 15 (matchday 29; away).
