Reigning Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) champions, Enyimba will commence their title defense at home against Nasarawa United according to the Week One fixtures released by the League Management Company (LMC).
The People’s Elephant and the Solid Miners were drawn apart in last season’s abridged league hence there was no meeting between both sides as only Enyimba pulled through to the Super Six.
Some of the interesting pairings on the opening day include a clash between two former champions, Plateau United and Lobi Stars.
Coach Fidelis Ilechukwu will also be leading Heartland against his former team MFM as the Olukoya Boys travel to Okigwe.
