This is a League or League legal entity established in November 2012 by the Nigerian Football Federation to take over the collapsed NPL. The first step taken by LMC is to change the name of the League, from the Nigerian Premier League to the Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL) or only the Professional Football League (P'F'L) ie only the "Professional League" or "Football League" inside Nigeria.
In 2015, the League Management Company requested financial support from the Government to "improve the existing base and supply of broadcast equipment and facilities needed at the stadium".
