Members of the NFF zonal coordinators are expected to hold a meeting today in Abuja where they hope to consider issues bordering on the NFF congress and the controversies surrounding the venue.

The body had championed the campaign against the boycott of the Port Harcourt as venue in reaction to Governor Rotimi Amaechi's descrition of the NFF as "the most corrupt government agency” in the country.

Peoples Daily Sports learnt on good authority that the members are determined to force their way much as they did in the election that brought the present NFF executive committee to office.

Meanwhile, Kwara United FC of Ilorin yesterday urged the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) to urgently resolve outstanding issues affecting the early kick-off of the 2012/2013 Nigeria Premier League (NPL) season.

The club's Media Officer, Olayioye Ajide, said in a statement in Ilorin that starting the league early would help to avoid any unnecessary rush in league matches.

The statement said that any further delay would affect the performances of the players as clubs might be compelled to play midweek and weekend games, amid bad roads and other hazards.

It also said that continued delay would affect the budgets of the clubs because playing more than four games monthly would tell on their finances.

The statement added that clubs playing continental championships would equally be affected, noting that the African Cup of Nations in January would take away most members of the Nigerian football ruling body.

It also said that no fewer than 13 new players had been confirmed for Kwara United in the coming season.

"The newly-signed players will be listed with the 20 retained from the old squad to make 33 players which the Afonja Warriors have pencilled for the new league season.

"Top among the new players is Iyoro Evans from Football Club De Pioneer, Port Harcourt; Fuad Ekelojuoti of Ocean Boys, as well as Rising Stars marksman Olutokun Nojeem and Dare Ojo.

"Others are Amaefule Chizoba of Sharks FC of Port Harcourt and the trio of Mayegun Taiwo, Taiwo Sunday and Adegbenro Samuel.
