by Reports says the home grounds of Abia Warriors football club of Umuahia
and Heartland FC of Owerri have been withdrawn from playing hosts to matches in the second round of this season due to poor condition of their pitches.
According to the report, both clubs are expected to select alternative home grounds from 3 NPFL approved venues in Aba, Enugu or Port Harcourt on or before their Match Day 19 fixture.
The Umuahia Township Stadium and Dan Anyiam Stadium can only be reconsidered for playing hosts to NPFL matches if appropriate measures are taken to improve the playing surfaces to meet required standards.
