NWFL Relegates Castmog FC from 2025/2026 Premiership Season

Posted : 26 November 2025

The Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) has officially confirmed the relegation of Castmog Ladies of Abeokuta from the 2025/2026 NWFL Premiership to the Championship, the league’s second tier. The decision comes after the club failed to meet the essential licensing and registration requirements for the new season.

Samuel Ahmadu, NWFL Media Director, stated that the decision follows previous warnings issued to three Premiership clubs, including Castmog Ladies, to ensure compliance with all registration and licensing obligations before the November 22 deadline.

Confirming the development, NWFL Chief Operating Officer Modupe Shabi said the league board has begun adjusting competition logistics to reflect the revised structure. “We have a responsibility to protect the integrity of the league, and compliance with registration and licensing requirements is a non-negotiable part of that process,” she said. Shabi emphasized that following these rules is essential to maintaining a credible and competitive league system.

The NWFL COO also confirmed that a revised season schedule and operational details would be released in the coming days. “Our focus is to ensure the season proceeds smoothly starting Wednesday. Updated fixtures and communication will be issued to all clubs, and we remain committed to transparency and professionalism at every stage,” she added.

Aside from Castmog Ladies, all other clubs complied with the stipulated requirements within the allocated timeframe. With Castmog now officially relegated, the Premiership season will continue with 19 teams. As a result, teams originally scheduled to play against Castmog, including Rivers Angels, will observe a bye on those matchdays.

The league is set to commence on Wednesday across various stadia in the country. The revised calendar for Match Day 1 is as follows:

Group A

  • Bayelsa Queens vs Edo Queens
  • Adamawa Queens vs Pacesetters Queens
  • Heartland Queens vs Ekiti Queens
  • Naija Ratels vs Ibom Angels

Group B

  • Nasarawa Amazons vs Delta Queens
  • Confluence Queens vs Abia Angels
  • Sunshine Queens vs Robo Queens
  • Ahudiyannem Queens vs Remo Stars Ladies
  • Dannaz Ladies vs Osun Babes
