The Nigerian women’s Football League Board has been assured of renewed support that would propel female football league to the next level.
This assurance was given by the Minister for Youth and Sports Development, Mr. Sunday Dare, at the finals of the female football super six played at the Dipo Dina Stadium in Ijebu Ode, Ogun State, where Rivers Angels emerged champions after beating Sunshine Stars 4-0.
The minister said: “I’m impressed with what I’ve seen today, as we have seen female professional football at its best. You will recall that I watched the last NWPL Super Four final at the Agege Stadium in Lagos where I saw great exhibition of talents. I want to congratulate the overall winner and those who will represent us for the first time in the Female CAF Champions League to be our worthy representatives by perhaps winning the maiden trophy of the CAF Champions League.
“Don’t forget we have a track record in female football in Africa where we remain a dominant force. We can extend the dominance from the National team to club level,” Mr. Dare charged.
The minister commended the chairperson of the female league, Aisha Falode, for her deliberate effort in taking the female league to the next level.
