Nigeria's relationship with football is not casual. It is total and unconditional in ways that other national pastimes are not. Young men spent their afternoons arguing over squad selections and match results. By the time they were adults, most Nigerians had already chosen a club and would not be moved from it.

[FootballInNigeria.com.ng](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/) was founded on a clear premise: millions of Nigerians who cared deeply about the game deserved a publication that cared as deeply back.

It reports on the NPFL with comparable care it gives to the Premier League, and every piece of coverage is written for the reader who already knows the game.

The best [Nigerian football](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/category/law-ethics/) writing goes beyond the fixture list into the feeling underneath it. This is the standard [FootballInNigeria](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/category/youth-development/).com.ng holds itself to.
