”No Club Doctor, No Registration” LMC Tells Club Proprietors.
- Updated: January 27, 2014
As the 2013/2014 Nigerian soccer season begins February, the league
Management Company (LMC) has directed clubs in the nation’s Professional
Football League (NPFL) to engage the services of certified medical
practitioners before the kick- off date or risk being registered.
LMC Chairman, Nduka Irabor gave the directive Friday
at the Pre-Season Medical Seminar in Abuja.
According to Irabor, LMC would not register any club that fail to hire the services of certified medical doctor, physiotherapist, or a nurse in the team.
“If it is only four clubs that meet the medical requirements before the
commencement of the league, only the four clubs will participate.”
“There are no rules which said league clubs must be up to 20
before the league can commence,’’ he stated.
The LMC boss, also enjoined the medical officers to ensure there was a
fitness test for all the players in the clubs to ensure they were
medically fit for the season.
Speaking at the event,NFA medical committee chairman, Abdulkadir Mu’azu explained the importance of the seminar.
He said the seminar was put together with a view to bringing
together all medical practitioners taking care of players in the league.
“These are the very important aspect of preventing injury, issues that
have to do with drugs and those other aspects that can help to enhance
performance of players.
“Because, without the players being healthy and fit, they cannot play
football.
Mu’azu, however, challenged the league clubs on ensuring that the
medical requirements by the LMC were met for the sake of the players’
welfare, especially in the area of their health conditions.
