As a result of representation by many clubs in the DStv Men’s and Zenith Bank Women’s League concerning financial challenges which led to only a few of them meeting the registration deadline few days from the start of the new season, the Nigeria Basketball Federation (NBBF), in consultation with their sponsors, Multichoice/DStv and Zenith Bank Plc respectively, has rescheduled the start of the DStv League from March 13 to March 20, while the Zenith League Phase 1 earlier slated for March 15 to 25, is now postponed until the third week of April (after the elections).
Accordingly, a new game schedule will be issued.
The federation is confident that this development will afford teams the time to conclude all arrangements for the new season as well as afford all parties the opportunity to meet their obligations.
