Four exceptional women teams came together to promote women football as they decided to have a 4 women football clubs league competition to put their women footballers in shape as the NWFL 2nd and 3rd tier league commences soon.
Nakamura FA, Papa Soccer Academy, Prince Kazeem Eletu Queens and Dannaz Ladies are the clubs participating in the 4 teams league.
Dannaz Ladies are presently top of the league table with 7 points from 3 matches, Papa Soccer Academy are 2nd with 2 points from 2 matches.
Prince Kazeem Eletu Queens have a point from 2 matches and are 3rd, while Nakamura Strikers have zero point after playing a match and have 2 games at hand.
Dannaz Ladies are scheduled to play at the NWFL Championship when it commences.
While Nakamura FA, Prince Kazeem Eletu Queens and Papa Soccer Academy will be competing in the 3rd tier of NWFL, which is the NWFL Nationwide league set to commence later this month in Edo
Speaking with ECHONEWS, the organizer of the competition, Folashade Ekun stated that the reason of the competition is to put the four teams in excellent form as they will be participating in the NWFL second and third tier leagues.
“We came up with this innovative idea in order to put the participating clubs in great shape as they participate in the NWFL 2nd and 3rd tier in order to gain promotion to the elite NWFL Premiership.
“The tournament is also an avenue to promote women football because, so many people focus on the men and leaving the women behind, so our aim is to put women football on the spotlight.
“The competition will also serve as a competitive atmosphere for the players as they will be able to horn their skills and showcase their hidden talents to the World.”
