Nigeria Women Football League announces ₦24.5m prize money for 2025 Premiership Super 6
The Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) on Thursday confirmed a total prize package of ₦24.5 million for the ongoing 2025 NWFL Premiership Super 6, offering increased financial incentives for all six participating clubs.
According to the breakdown, the eventual champions will pocket ₦10 million, maintaining the standard of the past two editions. The runners-up will earn ₦6 million, while the third-placed team gets ₦4 million, both representing a ₦1 million increase from last season.
In a significant improvement, the bottom three teams will each receive ₦1.5 million, up from ₦500,000 last season—stressing the league’s commitment and keen intent to support all teams financially.
NWFL Chairperson Nkechi Obi described the revised prize structure as a critical part of the league’s ongoing efforts to professionalize women’s football in Nigeria.
“This is a deliberate step to ensure that all clubs leave the NWFL Premiership Super 6 with something tangible,” Obi said.
“By increasing the financial rewards, especially for the bottom three, we’re reinforcing our commitment to professionalizing the women’s game and encouraging more investment at club level.”
The prize money comes in addition to the prestigious opportunity for the champions to earn Nigeria’s sole ticket to the WAFU regional qualifiers for the CAF Women’s Champions League—Africa’s top club competition—and potentially qualify for the inaugural FIFA Women’s Club World Championship next year, should they reach the final.
As the 2025 edition wraps up on Saturday, May 17, with Matchday 5 encounters, unprecedentedly, four clubs—Bayelsa Queens, defending champions Edo Queens, Nasarawa Amazons, and debutants Remo Stars Ladies—remain firmly in contention.
Recalled that the last four editions of Super 6 finals have been won by four different clubs, adding to the anticipation over which team will emerge as the new champions of this tightly contested season.
The ongoing six-club title championship is being broadcast live on StarTimes, produced by Team 33 Production, bringing nationwide visibility to the thrilling climax of Nigeria’s premier women’s football competition.
