Good morning honourable members of AIFL season 5.

1. Covid is real. May we observe all the covid 19 protocols very strictly. Wear your facemasks, maintain social distancing, wash hands regularly, isolate when in suspicion. Remember too that Anambra state has imposed a curfew as from Monday between 9pm to 6am. All AIFL teams should hearken to these directives.
2. AIFL season 4 champions DOSAD football Academy/club has been invited to join the Nigeria Nationwide League NLO pre season tournament between February 8th to 14th at NEROS stadium Nanka. We consider this an honour.
