2025 NWFL Premiership Super 6

By Tunji Faleye

The Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) has announced that it will award a total of ₦24.5 million in prize money for the 2025 NWFL Premiership Super 6, aiming to boost professionalism in the women’s game.

According to NWFL Chairperson Nkechi Obi, the revised prize structure is designed to make the league more attractive and encourage deeper investment at the club level.

“By increasing financial incentives, especially for the bottom three teams, we’re showing our commitment to professionalizing women’s football and supporting all participating clubs,” Obi said.

The prize breakdown reveals that the champions will take home ₦10 million, unchanged from the last two editions. The second and third-placed teams will receive ₦6 million and ₦4 million respectively—both reflecting a ₦1 million increase from the previous season.

Significantly, the bottom three clubs will each receive ₦1.5 million, tripling last season’s payout of ₦500,000. This move underscores NWFL’s dedication to equitable financial support across the board.

Beyond the monetary rewards, the league winner will secure Nigeria’s lone ticket to the WAFU regional qualifiers for the CAF Women’s Champions League and could potentially compete in the first-ever FIFA Women’s Club World Championship if they reach the continental final.

With Matchday 5 set for Saturday, May 17, four teams—Bayelsa Queens, defending champions Edo Queens, Nasarawa Amazons, and newcomers Remo Stars Ladies—remain in the title race.
