NPFL Lifts Suspension on Goalkeeper Adewale Adeyinka

The Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) has lifted the suspension of goalkeeper Adewale Adeyinka, who was accused of being involved in betting.

Adeyinka is now allowed to register with any club of his choice for the current NPFL season.

The NPFL shared the news in a statement on Tuesday, signed by its Chief Operating Officer, Davidson Owumi, and sent directly to the goalkeeper.

The league explained that this decision was made because Adeyinka cooperated well during the investigation.

However, the NPFL also made it clear that the investigation is still ongoing.

SportsRation had earlier reported that Adeyinka was suspended over claims he placed bets on NPFL matches during the 2024–25 season.
