Nigeria Premier League (NPL) said yesterday that they are determined to end the 2012 season in a record seven months period.<\/p>\n

The League is shceduled to begin on January 7 and according to NPL executive secretary, Tunji Babalola, the matches will terminate on July 15.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope to go strictly with these dates and that is why we are asking for the co-operation of everyone involved especially the clubs,\u201d Babalola disclosed.<\/p>\n

A complete fixture list of the 2011\/12 season shows that the teams will play mid-week matches to make up for lost time after the season began far behind schedule.<\/p>\n

The second transfer window in the league will be between February 29 and March 3 after Week 11 matches.<\/p>\n

On February 29, an NPL All-Stars team will take on the league leaders in a special match.<\/p>\n

The first round of the season is slated to end on April 8, while another special match between the NPL All-Stars and league leaders at that time will be staged on 11.<\/p>\n

This will also provide the last transfer window before the second round of the championship resumes on April 14.<\/p>\n

Dolphin of Port Harcourt are the defending champions and they open the new term on January 7 against last season\u2019s runners-up Sunshine Stars of Akure.<\/p>\n

The four promoted teams are Rising Stars, Akwa United, Jigawa Golden Stars and Wikki Tourists.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
