Warri Wolves Football Club have announced that their decisive Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Matchday 38 fixture against Abia Warriors will be played behind closed doors.
In an official statement released by the club’s media team on Friday, the Seasiders disclosed that the encounter scheduled for Sunday, May 24, 2026, will take place without fans at the stadium, following directives from the league organisers.
The statement noted that only duly accredited officials and authorised personnel would be granted access to the venue on matchday, effectively shutting out supporters from witnessing what promises to be a high-stakes season finale.
Warri Wolves appealed to their loyal supporters, stakeholders and football enthusiasts to comply with the directive and continue backing the team from afar through various social media platforms.
The club stressed that “distance isn’t a barrier” in rallying support for the team as they prepare for a crucial battle in their NPFL campaign.
The management also expressed appreciation to fans for their understanding, cooperation and unwavering support throughout the season.
Sunday’s encounter against Abia Warriors is expected to attract significant attention, with Warri Wolves battling to finish the season strongly in front of a restricted atmosphere.
