The Nigeria Premier Football League NPFL has issued a strong warning to club media officers, underscoring that post match conferences are now mandatory.

In an official letter addressed to club chairmen, the league expressed concern over the failure of some club media officers to fulfil this critical responsibility. The NPFL stressed that neglecting post match conferences deprives the league of valuable media content and undermines efforts to enhance fan engagement.

The league reminded all clubs that media officers were trained during the pre-season workshop on their duties, which include organising post match conferences with team managers, captains, or other players requested by the media.

Moving forward, all home clubs are expected to ensure that these conferences take place in a structured and conducive environment, preferably within designated NPFL media rooms, in line with club licensing regulations.

The NPFL has made it clear that any club failing to comply with these requirements will face sanctions directed at the defaulting media officers.

Editorial

We believe the NPFL’s decision to enforce mandatory post-match conferences is not only timely but absolutely necessary for the growth of the league. In today’s football landscape, media interactions are not optional they are vital in building narratives, strengthening fan engagement, and elevating the league’s visibility on both local and international stages.

It is disheartening to think that some clubs still neglect such a fundamental responsibility. The fans deserve more than just ninety minutes of football they deserve insights, reactions, and behind the scenes perspectives that only post match conferences can deliver. This content fuels passion, creates talking points, and keeps the league alive in conversations beyond matchdays.

The NPFL’s insistence on structure and the use of designated media rooms is also commendable. Professional settings elevate the league’s image and provide media personnel with the right environment to do their jobs effectively. This, in turn, ensures that the clubs themselves are presented in the best possible light.

We urge club media officers to see this as an opportunity rather than a chore. Consistent and professional media engagement can drive club popularity, attract sponsorships, and ultimately contribute to financial growth. For the league to reach its full potential, everyone from players to backroom staff must play their part. We support this directive fully and hope to see immediate improvements in post-match coverage.
