It is the highest level of domestic &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;football&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt; in Nigeria. It is fed into by the two &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;First Division&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt; groups: the Nigerian Division 1-A and Nigerian Division 1-B. It is organised by the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Nigeria Football Association&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;. The Nigeria Footbal League (NFL) Chairman is Mr. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Oyuiki Obaseki&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;The league was founded in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;1972&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt; with six teams. The league was rechristened the "Professional League" in 1990 with a goal to modernize the game and make clubs self-sufficient. Decrees 10 and 11 which codified the introduction of professional football in Nigeria stipulated that professional clubs should be run as limited liability companies each governed by a regularly-constituted board of directors and required to hold annual general meetings, present independently audited accounts, cultivate youth/feeder teams and own their own stadia within five years of registration with the Pro League Department. To assist Pro League clubs in the timely achievement of these stated goals, all 56 professional clubsides that constituted the inaugural Pro League First and Second Divisions were granted a five-year tax moratorium on all income starting from 1990.&lt;br /&gt;As of the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;2002&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt; season the league became known as the Globacom Premier League, due to sponsorship from the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Globacom&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt; telecomunications company. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;From 1999-2007, there was an end of season Championship mini-league called the "Super Four". The top four teams would play a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;round robin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt; at a neutral site to determine the league champion.&lt;br /&gt;After the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;2006&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt; competition, the league changed its calendar to more closely match the common &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;European&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt; regular season structure (starting around August and ending around May).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Past Winners&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1972 : Mighty Jets&lt;br /&gt;1973 : Bendel Insurance&lt;br /&gt;1974 : Rangers International&lt;br /&gt;1975 : Rangers International&lt;br /&gt;1976 : Shooting Stars FC&lt;br /&gt;1977 : Rangers International&lt;br /&gt;1978 : Racca Rovers&lt;br /&gt;1979 : Bendel Insurance&lt;br /&gt;1980 : Shooting Stars FC&lt;br /&gt;1981 : Rangers International&lt;br /&gt;1982 : Rangers International&lt;br /&gt;1983 : Shooting Stars FC&lt;br /&gt;1984 : Rangers International&lt;br /&gt;1985 : New Nigeria Bank&lt;br /&gt;1986 : Leventis United&lt;br /&gt;1987 : Iwuanyanwu Nationale&lt;br /&gt;1988 : Iwuanyanwu Nationale&lt;br /&gt;1989 : Iwuanyanwu Nationale&lt;br /&gt;1990 : Iwuanyanwu Nationale&lt;br /&gt;1991 : Julius Berger&lt;br /&gt;1992 : Stationery Stores&lt;br /&gt;1993 : Iwuanyanwu Nationale&lt;br /&gt;1994 : BCC Lions&lt;br /&gt;1995 : Shooting Stars FC&lt;br /&gt;1996 : Udoji United&lt;br /&gt;1997 : Eagle Cement&lt;br /&gt;1998 : Shooting Stars FC&lt;br /&gt;1999 : Lobi Stars&lt;br /&gt;2000 : Julius Berger&lt;br /&gt;2001 : Enyimba FC&lt;br /&gt;2002 : Enyimba FC&lt;br /&gt;2003 : Enyimba FC&lt;br /&gt;2004 : Dolphins FC&lt;br /&gt;2005 : Enyimba FC&lt;br /&gt;2006 : Ocean Boys FC&lt;br /&gt;2007 : Enyimba FC&lt;br /&gt;2008 : Kano Pillars F.C.&lt;br /&gt;2009 : Bayelsa United &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/913582713076864448-112830272986929010?l=glopremierleague.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://glopremierleague.blogspot.com/feeds/112830272986929010/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://glopremierleague.blogspot.com/2009/10/history-of-globacom-premier-league.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/913582713076864448/posts/default/112830272986929010'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/913582713076864448/posts/default/112830272986929010'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://glopremierleague.blogspot.com/2009/10/history-of-globacom-premier-league.html' title='History of the Globacom Premier League'/><author><name>AUSTIN</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05941226428449539845</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VspvPRxyX_s/StWP4M_RFuI/AAAAAAAAAAo/xWAxlwC0Y-M/S220/austino.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VspvPRxyX_s/Ss9JGXSgj4I/AAAAAAAAAAM/ab4YAFycCWQ/s72-c/logo.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
