By Ayomide John / July 3, 2023

Nigerian club Sporting Lagos have sealed a qualification spot for the Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL) next season while Kano Pillars are close to qualifying.

Sporting Lagos defeated Stormers SC 2-0 on Monday, July 3 at the Stephen Keshi Stadium in the ongoing Nigeria National League (NNL) Super 8 playoffs to seal a place in Nigeria’s top tier league NPFL.

Rivio Anyemwenre and Saturday Okon’s second half goals ensured victory for the team.

Kano Pillars beat DMD 2-0 on Monday, July 3 at the Stephen Keshi Stadium and need just a point in their next match against Katsina United on Wednesday to ensure qualification for next season’s NPFL campaign.

Sporting Lagos moved up to the NPFL just a year after the creation of the club and Kano Pillars look set to get back to the Nigerian top tier league just a year after they were relegated to the NNL.
