Giwa Football club failed to turn up for their match
at Illorin yesterday against Wikki Tourists and
according to NPFL rules, they could now be just a
game way from being expelled from the league.
Giwa FC, owned by Chris Giwa and based in Jos City
was banished to Illorin some weeks ago for crowd
trouble in their game against Enugu Rangers but they
failed to turn up on Sunday at Illorin for their game
against Wikki Tourists and didn't give the League
Management Company (LMC) any reason as to why
they refused honouring the match.
According to the framework and rules of the NPFL
for the 2015/16 season, Article 13.27 clearly
stipulated the consequence of missing consecutive
matches without acceptable reasons to the
organisers.
It reads: “If a club fails to honour two consecutive
matches without an acceptable reason to LMC such a
club shall be expelled from the League and its
matches played and unplayed match shall be
cancelled.”
And this sanction would also apply should Giwa fail
to honour three cumulative matches in the season.
Article 13.28 stated: “If a Club fails to honour three
matches cumulatively within the League season
without an acceptable reason to the LMC such a club
shall be expelled from the League and its matches
played and unplayed match shall be cancelled.”
