The Nationwide League One (NLO) has officially announced a new date for the play-off match between FC Ebedei and Yewa FA that was previously abandoned. The decision follows a severe on-pitch collision between FC Ebedei striker Kehinde Abdulquadri and Yewa FA goalkeeper Olalere Ridwan, which resulted in the keeper losing consciousness and requiring urgent hospital treatment. Given the seriousness of the injury, the NLO halted the match to prioritize player welfare.
At the time of the stoppage, the game remained scoreless in the 45th minute. The NLO has mandated that the match must be finished at a neutral ground in Ajegunle, Lagos, picking up exactly where it was suspended with the same score and original officiating crew. The contest is scheduled to resume on Tuesday, June 30, 2026, at 10:00 AM.
Both teams must report to the facility one hour prior to the start. The league body has committed to supplying the required medical and security resources to guarantee the match concludes without further incident.
