The Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) has rescheduled the matchday 16 encounter between Sunshine Stars and Shooting Stars.

Initially slated for Sunday, December 8, the highly anticipated South-West derby will now take place a day earlier, on Saturday, December 7.

In addition to the change in date, the NPFL also announced a venue change. The match will now be played at the Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne, Ogun State, instead of the Otunba Dipo Dina Stadium in Ijebu-Ode.

The adjustments were communicated in a statement signed by the league’s Chief Operating Officer, Davidson Owumi, yesterday.

The statement read in part: “Going by the new arrangement, the South-West derby, initially slated for Sunday, December 8, will now hold 24 hours earlier, on Saturday, December 7.”
