Sunshine Stars Announce Kick-Off Time Change for NNL Clash Against Beyond Limits

Sunshine Stars have confirmed a slight change in the kick-off time for their Nigeria National League (NNL) Matchday Seven fixture against Beyond Limits.

The Southwest derby, originally scheduled to begin at 3:00 pm, will now kick off at 4:00 pm. The encounter will still take place at the Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne on Saturday.

The Owena Waves announced the adjustment via an official statement, although no specific reason was given for the change.

“Slight adjustment on our Southwest derby with Beyond Limits,” the club stated.
“Match to be played by 4:00 pm rather than the previous 3:00 pm earlier posted.”

The fixture is expected to attract strong interest, with both teams eager to assert dominance in one of the NNL’s most competitive regional rivalries.

Opinion: While the club did not explain the reason behind the time shift, such adjustments are not uncommon in Nigerian football, often linked to logistics, security arrangements or broadcast considerations. However, clearer communication around these changes would help supporters, especially traveling fans, plan better and enhance matchday experience.

Regardless of the revised kick-off time, the clash promises intensity, passion and high stakes, as both sides look to secure crucial points in their push for promotion.
