Ikenne to Host NWFL Super Six as Title Showdown Moves to Ogun State
The Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne has been confirmed as the host venue for the 2025 Nigeria Women Football League NWFL Super Six Playoffs. Scheduled to take place in May, the highly anticipated tournament will determine the league champions and Nigeria’s sole representative at the 2025 CAF Women’s Champions League.
Edo Queens have already booked their place in the playoffs, alongside two other powerhouses Rivers Angels and Bayelsa Queens. Several clubs remain in contention for the remaining spots, including Remo Stars Ladies, Nasarawa Amazons, FC Robo Queens, and Naija Ratels.
The top three teams from each group will qualify for the Super Six, which promises to be a festival of elite women’s football in Nigeria.
Editorial
Choosing Ikenne as the battleground for the NWFL Super Six is a nod to Nigeria’s growing commitment to elevating women’s football and it couldn’t have come at a better time. The Remo Stars Stadium is modern, accessible, and increasingly symbolic of football excellence in the country.
The stakes are high. This isn’t just about who lifts the trophy it’s about who represents Nigeria on the continent. And with clubs like Rivers Angels and Edo Queens setting the bar, the competition will be fierce, tactical, and emotionally charged.
What stands out most is the parity. No longer is the league dominated by one or two sides. The rise of teams like Naija Ratels and Remo Stars Ladies is proof that investment in infrastructure and player development is paying off. Ikenne won’t just host football matches—it will host a new chapter in the NWFL’s evolution.
