Heartland of Owerri were issued a stern warning to curb restive acts of their Supporters and advised to organize reorientation for the Supporters to inculcate in them the spirit of fair play.
For Heartland, the NPFL in the memo expressed reservations over the behavior of the fans in holding back the players and Officials at the stadium after the match, making it difficult for them to exit the stadium premises until a detachment of security operatives arrived as reinforcement.
the Chief Operating Officer of NPFL, Davidson Owumi argued that such behavior is unacceptable and tarnishes the reputation of both Heartland and the NPFL.
The Owerri-based club was admonished to stop such behavior by organizing orientation workshop for the Supporters on the Spirit of Fair Play best practices.
