The battle for promotion to the Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) Premiership intensifies as the 2025 Championship enters Match Day 3.
With Sunshine Queens already securing a swift return to the top flight, attention now turns to other groups where Castmog Ladies, Ahudiyannem Queens, Imo Striker Queens, and Ghetto Tigers are on the brink of history.
Fixtures across the Umuahia and Abiriba centres will determine the winners of Groups A1, A2, and B1, while Group B2, the only five-team pool, will extend until Sunday.
Group A1: Castmog in Control, First Mahi Still Alive
Castmog Ladies remain perfect with two wins from two games and need only to avoid defeat against Gallant Queens to confirm promotion. First Mahi Babes, revived by a 1–0 win over Gallant Queens, must beat Royal Queens and hope for a Castmog slip to stay alive.
Destined leaders: Castmog Ladies
Group A2: Sunshine Queens Already Promoted
Sunshine Queens have sealed promotion after winning their first two matches, mirroring Ibom Angels’ feat last season. Their final game against Kwara Ladies is now academic.
Destined leaders: Sunshine Queens
Group B1: Winner-Takes-All Between Ahudiyannem and Wazbak
Hosts Ahudiyannem Queens top the table with three points and need only a draw against Wazbak International to clinch promotion. Wazbak must win outright, while Pelican Stars and Chosen Generation Angels fight for consolation positions.
Destined leaders: Ahudiyannem Queens (Wazbak must cause an upset)
Group B2: Imo Striker Set the Pace, Ghetto Tigers in Pursuit
Imo Striker Queens lead with six points after two wins, including a 2–1 triumph over Osun Babes, while Ghetto Tigers sit second with four points following a comeback victory over Delta Babes. Moje Queens remain in contention, and Delta Babes aim to play for pride following the tragic loss of their head coach.
