The League Management Company has come to the rescue of the
Nigeria Women Football League with the sum of N10 million, for the NWFL to
successfully prosecute the second round of the season.
A number of Clubs had ran foul of the provisions of the NWFL
regulations, failing to honour three matches, and were subsequently thrown out
of the League. However, with the latest lifeline, the NWFL will now be able to
pay indemnities of match officials, taking the responsibility off host teams.
“We are happy for this lifeline from the League Management
Company. This gesture has come as part of the NFF’s promise to take the Women’s
League, and the entire women football sector, to a new level.
“We want to commend the NFF and the LMC for this, and I can assure
you that the second round of the season will commence this weekend, with all
the teams that started the season.
“We have rescheduled all the matches that were not played for one
reason or the other, and the rescheduled games will be played in midweek while
the regular matches come up during the weekends,” Babagana Kalli, Chairman of
the Ad-hoc Committee of the NWFL, told thenff.com on Thursday.
Mr. Ayo Abdulrahaman, Executive Secretary of the NWFL, had
explained to thenff.com that teams like Nasarawa Amazons, Tokas Queens and
Capital City Doves (Premier League) and Cerezo Queens and State House Queens
(Pro League) lost their slots for failing to honour three matches in the
current season.
In letters conveying the decision of the Ad-hoc Committee of the
NWFL and addressed to the NFF General Secretary, Abdulrahaman cited the
provision of article 4.2 paragraphs 1 and 5 of the 2015/2016 Nigeria Women
Football League rules.
All the teams earlier expelled have now been restored to the
League.
