For assistant referees, the NPFL contributes four representatives: Mohammed Ibrahim and Aminu Mammaga (both from Zamfara), Zachariah Nde (Akwa Ibom), and Dahiru Muazu (Adamawa). The NNL completes the lineup with Shittu Toheeb (Ogun), Igwe Emmanuel (Rivers), Eze Chinonso (Anambra), and Ciroma Bukar (Borno).
The selected referees will be tasked with managing the high-tension fixtures involving the eight qualified teams — four from the Northern Zone and four from the Southern Zone — who are vying for promotion to the elite Nigeria Premier Football League.
As the countdown to kickoff begins, all eyes will be on Asaba, not just for the football action, but also to observe the standard of officiating expected to reflect the NFF’s drive for fair play and technical quality in Nigerian football.
