Cross River State is set to play host to the Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) championship. The Chief Operating Officer of the NWFL, Modupe Shabi, confirmed this in a statement on Tuesday that Cross River will be hosting the 2023/2024 NWFL Championship.
The upcoming Championship which is the league’s second division, will hold from August 31 to September 8, 2024, in Calabar, Cross Rivers State and is the second edition after the Premiership Super Six finals hosted by Bayelsa State, where Edo Queens emerged as first-time winners in June.
According to Shabi participating clubs will be divided into four groups—A, B, C, and D—with eight matches scheduled at two venues on Matchday One, Saturday, August 31, and another eight games on Matchday Two, Sunday, September 1.
He added that over 17 registered clubs will compete in this year’s Championship while the top two teams will be promoted to the NWFL Premiership and the two bottom teams will be relegated to the third division of the women’s league in Nigeria.
