Nigeria Professional Football League clubs will spend a staggering N2.5m for COVID-19 tests per game as they gear up towards finding a way to complete the season.
Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Sunday Dare, in an interview, said players and coaches of all NPFL clubs must undergo tests before the league could resume.
There will be no compromise on certain things when it comes to the health code, there will be no compromise, Dare said.
According to the Lagos State Commissioner for Health, Professor Akin Abayomi, a COVID-19 test costs approximately N50,000.
Each NPFL team is expected to administer up to 50 tests (40 players and 10 officials) before every game, meaning each club will pay N2.5m for the tests.
In total, the 20 NPFL clubs would cough up a combined N50m for the tests, per game.
