NWFL: Onyedinma Assures on Improved Season

Chairperson of the Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL), Dilichukwu Onyedimma, has assured the teeming followers of women football league in the country that the incoming season would be rewarding for football, even as she disclosed that insecurity in the North Eastern part of the country was the basic problem they faced in the past season.

Speaking at the 2014 NWFL Congress in Abuja on Tuesday, Onyedimma said though there were lots of assurances from Adamawa State Government, sponsors of Adamawa Queens, most of the teams refused to travel to the state to honour their matches.

She further said the case was taken to the NFF disciplinary committee that advised the federation leadership to give further directives on the issue.

Onyedimma, an Executive Committee member of the NFF also noted that the NWFL has contributed immensely to the successes of the country’s national womens’ teams both at the age grade and the senior levels.

She maintained that the national U-17 women team (Flamengoes) last year played to quarter finals of the FIFA U-17 World Cup with all the players coming from the league and some grassroots clubs.
