The agreement will see the league renamed EuroMatch NPFL from the 2026/27 season. The $2.5 million annual sponsorship, comprising 60% ($1.5 million), will be distributed to the league's 20 clubs, providing an estimated ₦2.019 billion per season. The deal, valued at $7.5 million overall, marks the first time a title sponsor has returned to Nigeria's top-flight league since Globacom's sponsorship ended in 2016. EuroMatch, a Warsaw-based private investment and technology company, focuses on regulated gaming and sportsbook brands. The agreement aims to give clubs a direct share in the league's commercial revenue and provide EuroMatch with entry into one of Africa's largest football markets.",
