2025/2026 NPFL Matchday 2: Warri Wolves Face Sanctions Over Pitch Invasion

Posted : 02 September 2025

Newly promoted Warri Wolves have found themselves under scrutiny as the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) management prepares disciplinary action following crowd troubles in their Matchday 2 clash against Rangers International FC.

 

Despite securing an impressive 2-0 victory over the Flying Antelopes at the Southern Delta University Football Pitch in Ozoro, celebrations turned chaotic when some overzealous supporters invaded the field — a direct violation of NPFL’s code of conduct.

 

As a result, the NPFL has officially charged the Seasiders with breaching league regulations. The league stated that the club failed to ensure prompt, adequate, and effective security for the home fixture, which also caused a delay to the scheduled 4 p.m. kickoff.

 

Warri Wolves have been fined ₦1 million for their failure to meet the required security standards. Additionally, the club has been ordered to implement a comprehensive matchday security plan and submit the details to the NPFL board within seven working days of the notice.

 

The club has been given 48 hours from the date of the sanction notice to lodge an appeal if they wish to contest the decision.

 

This incident serves as an early warning to Warri Wolves, who must now balance their on-pitch ambitions with the responsibility of upholding league rules and ensuring fan discipline.
