‘I hope the NPFL is concluded’ – Akwa United’s Boboye

Akwa United coach Kennedy Boboye is hoping the Nigerian football league season is not cancelled.

Football leagues across the world are currently on hold because of the coronavirus pandemic which has claimed thousands of lives across the globe.

The French elite division was abandoned on Tuesday after the French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe's announcement that no sporting events will be allowed to take place until September.

Startled that the League Management might take that decision, the Nigeria U23 assistant coach and Akwa United handler took to social media to make a wish.

“I’ve really missed the beautiful game, my players and how I would scream out instructions to my team from the sideline,” Boboye tweeted.
