Malumfashi Football Club of Katsina has been expelled from the Nigeria National League.
This is part of their punishment for breaking sections of the codified rules and regulations guiding the league(NNL).
Malumfashi FC refused to honour two consecutive matches of Conference D in the NNL: Sokoto United vs Malumfashi FC and Malumfashi FC vs City FC of Abuja .
Besides Malumfashi FC before now failed to honour the rescheduled 45 Minutes League match of Wednesday 14th February, 2024 at the Ahmadu Bello Stadium, Kaduna against Sokoto United .
Chief Operating Officer of the League ,Dr.Ayo Abdulrahaman told NNL Media that the action of Malumfashi is a breach of Article 14.7 which also attracts a fine of N1,000.000.00 (One Million Naira only).
This prompted the league to invoke Article 14.10 which implies the expulsion of Malumfashi from the league and all the matches played by the club are in the line with the rules cancelled.
Consequently, the Nigeria National League has mandated the Katsina Football Association to help in the recovery of all fines imposed on Malumfashi , especially as it concerns the items forcefully taken from referees in the match against Sokoto Utd in Malumfashi.
