Nigeria Women’s Football League have confirmed the 2023 NWFL Premiership Super Six will start five days earlier than planned.

The highly-anticipated Super 6 finals originally scheduled to run from June 9 to 16, will now hold from June 5 to 11, 2023 in Asaba, Delta State.

In the latest circular to clubs, the NWFL’s governing body, through Chief Operating Officer, Modupe Shabi, confirmed the slight changes following the Nigeria Football Federation approval.

The sudden changes also came in the wake of the NFF bid to meet the fast-approaching deadline set by CAF for the submission of countries’ representatives for the WAFU-B playoff for the CAF Women’s Champions League later this year.

According to the NWFL programme schedule for the showpiece, matches of this year’s Super 6 kicks off on Tuesday, June 6, while teams’ arrival and draw happens 24 hours earlier, on Monday June 5.

Participating teams are Rivers Angels, Delta Queens, Edo Queens, Bayelsa Queens, Confluence Queens and Robo Queens following their qualifications from the regular season concluded in April 2023.

In Group A, Edo Queens finished as group winners with 25 points from 12 matches, followed by Robo Queens in second with 22 points and Confluence Queens in third with 21 points.

Delta Queens claimed the top spot in Group B, with 26 points, just one ahead of title holders Bayelsa Queens sit in second and Rivers Angels in third with 20 points from 12 games.

On the scorers’ chart, Omokwo Mercy of Delta Queens finished the regular season with nine goals from 12 matches, three ahead of the trio of Abia Angels’ Agams Nkechi, teammate Chinaza Agoh, and Robo Queens’ Folashade Ijamilusi with six goals.

The winner of this year’s NWFL Super Six tournament will represent the country in WAFU-B zonal qualifiers for CAF Women’s Champions League

The countdown to the 2026 All Africa Challenge Trophy (AACT) has officially entered the final month, with just 31 days to go before Africa’s leading women’s team golf championship tees off at the IBB International Golf & Country Club in Abuja.

In a statement signed by the AACT 2026Director of Communication Kayode Adeniyi on Friday in Abuja.

Under the theme “Africa Is Coming to Abuja,” the countdown campaign will spotlight the championship, the participating nations, the players, the host venue and the growing development of women’s golf across the continent.

The 2026 AACT, scheduled for November 2–7, will bring together women’s golfing talent from across Africa for six days of continental competition in Nigeria’s capital.

As preparations continue at the IBB International Golf & Country Club, attention is increasingly turning to Abuja, where the championship will provide a platform for African golfers to compete while also showcasing Nigeria’s hospitality and the country’s growing profile as a destination for major sporting events.

The countdown will feature daily stories, interviews, player and country profiles, tournament facts, behind-the-scenes updates and features on the host venue as the championship draws closer.

The campaign will also highlight the role of the Ladies Golf Association of Nigeria (LGAN), the Local Organising Committee and other stakeholders in preparing for the continental championship.

With just 31 days remaining, anticipation is building across the African golfing community as Abuja prepares to welcome the continent’s leading women golfers.
