NWFL warns clubs against late registration ahead of Nov 22 deadline

The Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) has issued a stern warning to clubs yet to complete their digital registration and club licensing procedures ahead of the new premiership season, saying that non-compliant teams risk sanctions, with relegation not ruled out. 

According to NWFL, Castmog Ladies, Osun Babes, and Naija Ratels are among the clubs still behind schedule in meeting the mandatory digital documentation and licensing requirements as the November 22 deadline is approaching. 

A statement signed by NWFL media director, Samuel Ahmadu, and made available to Sporting Tribunes said the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of the league, Modupe Shabi, urged the outstanding clubs to complete their submissions without delay, as she restated that the deadline will not be extended.

“The digital registration and licensing process is designed to ensure that every club meets the minimum professional standards required to compete. 

“We expect full compliance before the November 22 deadline. Any club that fails to meet these financial and administrative obligations will face the consequences as outlined in our regulations. Our commitment is to run a credible, properly structured league,” Shabi said. 

The NWFL reiterated its determination to enforce all regulatory provisions to guarantee a seamless start to the new season and uphold the integrity of the competition.

All processes are now conducted through the league’s digital registration portal to ensure transparency and efficiency as part of efforts to professionalise women’s football in Nigeria.
