MFM take on Remo Stars as new NPFL season begins

The 2021/22 Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) season is set to kick off today (Friday) with just one game to raise the curtain.

Lagos-based club, MFM will be hosting Remo Stars in a South West derby at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena, Onikan.

MFM finished in 10th position last season and will be desperate to start the new campaign on a winning note, as the visitors will also be looking to do same.

The remaining nine matches of the game week one fixtures will take place across different venues on Sunday.

Champions Akwa United will begin the defense of their title with a home game against Kano Pillars at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium, Uyo.
