Former Nigerian League top scorer and head of Operations of the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL), Davidson Owumi, has revealed that the official match ball for the Nigerian league this season will be SELECT.
It is produced internationally by Select Sport A.S which is based in Glostrup, Denmark.
But in Nigeria, it is distibuted by Kaduna-based Markana Management who are one of the official partners of NPFL.
In Europe, SELECT is the official match ball supplier to the Swedish Allsvenskan and Superettan, the Danish national team, the Portuguese league, the Icelandig league, the Bosnian and Herzegovinian league, the Romanian league, the Danish men's and women's league and first division, the Norwegian men's and women's league.
Already, each of the 20 clubs in the league have reportedly received 24 balls. Owumi elaborated on the selection of SELECT as official match ball.
"It's good to have Markana Management as one of our partners.
"The choice of SELECT match balls design is unique for the NPFL, as all 20 clubs now have same kind of branded balls, which is good publicity for our domestic league.
" The next stage is the branding of these balls. We plan to domesticate then to suit our product."
The SELECT match design features black and Navy Blue colour and cool graphic outlines to make it pop from the white ball.
Meanwhile, Ekene Adams, Chief Executive Officer(CEO) of Markana Management expressed his delight after he said: "This is a step in the right direction for the NPFL and the many good plans the Interim Management Company (IMC) has for the league.
"We are trying to do something new and positive with the NPFL. Markana Management has a long-term plan for the development of the domestic league in Nigeria by including all the Under 17 teams of all the clubs.
"We are discussing developmental projects with the office of the Technical Director of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) as well."
