Nigeria’s representatives at this year’s WAFU-B Schools Football Championship — the qualifying tournament for the 2025 CAF African Schools Football Championship — will emerge on Friday, following the conclusion of the ongoing round-robin competition in Abuja.
Matches are being played at the FIFA Goal Project inside the MKO Abiola National Stadium and the Area 3 Football Pitch. Teams from the FCT, Adamawa, Gombe, and Lagos States are competing in the female category, while the male category features teams from the FCT, Kaduna, Delta, Enugu, Ekiti, and Taraba States.
The winner in each category will earn the right to represent Nigeria at the WAFU-B Schools Football Championship, scheduled to hold in Burkina Faso from 27th to 30th November.
While the victorious schools will fly the nation’s flag, outstanding players from other teams will also be selected to form a Schools National Team.
Successful schools from the WAFU-B competition will join qualifiers from CECAFA (East & Central Africa), COSAFA (Southern Africa), UNAF (North Africa), UNIFFAC (Central Africa), and WAFU-A (West Africa Zone A) in next year’s prestigious CAF African Schools Football Championship.
