Nigerian Professional Football League referees are set to clash with the League Management Company over their officiating fees for the 2016/2017 season.
The new league season begins next month and the referees want an increase in their indemnities and transport.

But they now want to be paid between N120,000 and N150,000 for each match in the coming season.
