2009–10 Nigeria Premier League

The 2009–10 Nigeria Premier League was the 39th season of the competition since its inception. Starting on 20 September 2009, it ran to July 7 due to breaks for both the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations and the 2010 FIFA World Cup and a total of 378 of a possible 380 games played.[2] It ran without a sponsor since January due to the pulling out of sponsor Globacom.
