Stadium has been overturned by the League Management
Company.
The league organisers clamped down heavily on the Owena
Waves due to their fans unruly behaviour in last season’s
Week 36 fixture against Lobi Stars.
Fans invaded the pitch; attacked match officials because the
Makurdi based outfit was leading by a lone goal in the fierce
encounter that saw play halted in the 77th minute.
An incident that saw the team barred from their dreaded
enclave for a year and played their remaining home games
in Lagos.
“I’m pleased to inform you that Sunshine Stars have been
cleared to play their NPFL home games at the Akure
Township Stadium,” media officer Wahab Bankole confirmed
to Goal.
“This is cheering for us as it will boost our confidence level
going into the new season.
“We have learnt our lessons and will do all it takes to
prevent a repeat of the occurrence that resulted to the initial
LMC action,” he concluded.
Sunshine Stars hosts Akwa United in their first game of the
season on February 21, 2015.
