He added that the draw will be held in an hotel in Abuja and some celebrities have been invited to partake in the draw.
The former sports administrator went further to describe how the draws will be done.
"We are going to have like three pots. We don't want it be a North versus South arrangement. The teams will pick, whatever pots they find themselves they will play in that pot. However, we going to make sure clubs originating from the same state will not be in the same pot. For instance, Abia Warriors and Enyimba, Dakkada and Akwa United and Gombe United and Doma FC that are from the same states will not be in the same pot.
The abridged league format will end with a Super six", Elegbeleye said.
