Players in the Nigeria Professional Football League will get more exposure in the coming 2023/2024 season following the advent of a streaming platform, which will expand the coverage of the league.
The live streaming of the matches is being powered by GTI on a dedicated Over the Top live platform and will be available on mobile devices.
According to a press release by GTI Asset Management & Trust Limited, more details of the streaming platform will be communicated in due course.
The project has also been enabled by the world’s most advanced AI Technology and will make the NPFL the first African football League to deploy this technology.
