Nigeria
A professional nigerian league was introduced in 1990. A table from the inaugural season has proved impossible to come by, however. You are to copy this document in non-commercial circumstances but please state the source, i.e. Clas Glenning.
NOTES
During a few years Nigeria had three points for a win, 2 points a draw win goals, 1 for a goalless draw and 0 for a regular loss.
I have however counted the regular three, one, zero system here.
1991. Total goaldifference is +22. BCC Lions 30-10 is surely wrong.
1992: Total goaldifference is +8. Four more wins than losses.
1993: Total goaldifference is +11. One more loss than win, odd number of draws.
1994: Total goaldifference is -1.
1995: No final table. The one found at the RSSSF Nigerian history file has been used here. However, this table has +11 in total goaldifference.
1996: Three more wins than losses, odd number of draws.
1997: Total goaldifference is +9.
1998: One more win than losses, odd number of draws and +15 in overall goaldifference.
1999: Two more losses than wins and overall goaldifference is -2.
2000: Total goaldifference is +16.
2001: Finally a table that adds up. However, goals are missing in one or two rounds for six teams.
2002: Total goaldifference is -7 and goals are missing for some teams in some games.
2008: One game between Nasarawa United and Wikki Tourists was apparently declared null and void.
2010/11: Ocean Boys were expelled after no-shows and had all games declared null and void.
2015: Giwa and Sharks had three points deducted each for abandoned games.
2016: Giwa withdrew and had all games stricken.
2018: Season not concluded and therefore not counted at all.
2019/20: League abandoned because of Covid-19. No champion was declared. The season is counted though as teams qualified for the CAF Cups through it.
2022/23: Plateau United & Bayelsa United each had three goals and three points deducted.
