Ahead of the match day one fixture of the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) on January 8, Sulaiman Umar, the chairman of Doma United is very optimistic that his team will compete favourably well, reports www.totorinews.com.
The amiable proprietor of Doma United said that despite being their first time experience in the elite league In Nigeria, he believes that his team is not a push over and the coming on board of the Interim Management Committee led by Hon. Gbenga Elegbeleye to administer the NPFL has given him fresh hope of better fortunes for his team.
“Doma United is in the NPFL to compete and no team is a push over. Doma United is not a push over,” Umar told the media.
“We will be playing against strong teams in Group B and our first game is against Sunshine Stars. We believe that the team can start strong at home by winning her first game of the season.
Talking about the match officials, he said he was impressed when Hon. Elegbeleye informed that the match indemnities of officials will be taken care of throughout the season and no referee will be denied his entitlements as at when due.
“Hearing that the IMC will take care of all indemnities of the match officials and that referees will get credit alert of their indemnities before they officiate a game is very good.
“Failure to pay match indemnities has been the bane of the league in the past, but this is a good development that will ensure fairness and improve the quality of NPFL games,” he said.
