NNL Super 4 Kicks Off in Lagos as Four Promoted Clubs Clash for Champion’s Crown

The draws are being place today at the Marriott Hotel in Lagos, and the competition for the title of overall champion of the 2025/2026 Nigeria National League (NNL) season will begin on May 1 and run through May 8, 2026.

Doma United, Inter Lagos, Sporting Lagos, and Rancher Bees are the teams who will compete in this year’s Super 4.

After winning their respective groups, the clubs were immediately promoted to the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) and guaranteed their spots in the Super 4 playoffs.

Inter Lagos won eight games, drew five, and lost three to earn 29 points in the Southern Conference’s groups A and B, while Sporting Lagos FC won six, drew three, and lost four to take first place with 36 points.

Doma United finished with 26 points from seven wins, two draws, and four losses in the group C and D Northern Conferences, while Ranchers Bees finished first with 20 points from six wins, two draws, and four road losses.

All four of the promoted clubs are now privately owned for the first time in history, which is a significant development that illustrates the future of Nigerian club football.  

The Director General of the National Sports Commission (NSC), Bukola Olopade, and Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) President, Alhaji Ibrahim Gusau, will lead the delegation of Nigerian sports administrators to the draws. 

Other dignitaries expected are ex-Super Eagles legends, with the ‘Prince of Monaco’ Victor Ikpeba, and other big guns from across the industry expected to grace the event.
