The Nigeria Hockey Federation says the National Super League will take place between August 8 and 15 in Kaduna, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.
Secretary of the federation Augustine Balewa told NANduring the week that eight male and six female teams would participate in the league.
Balewa said the teams had earlier qualified for the competition from the League One tournament organised by the Federation in 2014.
“The teams are expected to comply with the federation’s stipulated rules for the league,” he said.
On preparations for the forthcoming 2015 Africa Qualifying Tournament in Egypt, the NHF chief said players would be invited to camp in September.
He said the Super League would also serve as a platform to prepare its players ahead of the tournament.
Balewa, however, called on corporate bodies and philanthropists to support the federation in its quest to develop the sport in the country.
